Day 18 Porthcurno to Penzance


A heavy due meant a damp start. We had coffee and a banana for breakfast and then back to the path. As we crossed the first field we saw a fox about to capture a cat. Frank said that was almost unheard of but the fox ran off. Then I slipped on the first stone stile and had my second fall in two days.

Yee Ouch!


It seemed a very strenuous 5.5 miles to Lamorna Bay but it only took two hours. Time for a proper breakfast and coffee there was 65pence for a refill. Well done Lamorna Bay!

Mousehole was a delightful town especially with its sanctuary for injured wild birds.


We walked through a grubby looking Newlyn before reaching an even grubbier Penzance. The place looked as though it needed a makeover! Frank had made lunch – excellent as ever and we walked on to the hostel. Good place! Although Frank had paid for his bed and breakfast he was whisked away by Alyson for a night together in her B&B. Alyson loved her earrings – a gift to soften her for the impact of Frank’s purchased painting.

After an excellent meal in Penzance we parted.

Verdict: Penzance - scruffiest town on the footpath!
