Sue and I set out on our first walk on the Southwest Coast Path almost six years ago; we walked almost 100 miles around the end of Cornwall, from St. Ives to Coverack…and we thought we would be doing this every year until we had finished all 630 miles of the path.
A few things came between us and our plans: not just the pandemic and the odd health bump (torn achilles tendons are not conducive to long walks), but wonderful things like grandchildren and anniversary celebrations.
We did return to the path in 2022, when we walked the Jurassic Coast with our friends Cindy and Gary H. (we walked from Exmouth to Lulworth Cove on that walk), and again in 2023, when we finished the easternmost portion of the path, from Kimmeridge Bay to South Haven Beach, in part with our friend Andrew D.
So now, in 2024, we’re back at it, with Cindy and Gary again and our friends Patti and David B. (experienced Arizona hikers but path “rookies”). We’ll walk along the eastern coast of Cornwall, from Falmouth to just short of Plymouth.
We’ll do that, that is, if United doesn’t cancel our 8:30 AM flight to London…which they did in November 2023!
See you on the path!
