A prompt start on a bright morning, and it’s over the dunes
(why isn’t there a golf course here?) to the coastline. Bit of beach action as
we approach the River Gannell not really knowing how far upstream we’ll have to
walk in order to cross it. Fortunately, the tide is reasonably low and
therefore, although the first tidal bridge is closed for repair, we are able to
de-shod and walk through the stream. Is this really the first time that we’ve
paddled on the walk? More beach action along Fistral (looks really nice in the
spring sunshine before all the holidaymakers and weekenders arrive) and through
Newquay where postcards are bought and there’s a bit of rock climbing to get
back up to the path after the final beach/bay. (We could have used a zip wire
to cross the bay instead....in theory so far as two of us are concerned!) After
Newquay, it’s the length of Watergate
Bay and on towards the
Carnewas NT tea rooms where we’ve decided to finish having ascertained that it
sells crab sandwiches – and that it isn’t licensed. We also need to arrange a
Colin pick up. A pub en route to Carnewas in Mawgan Porth addresses both
issues. We arrive at Carnewas with time to have crab sandwiches before Colin
arrives to take us to Bodmin
Parkway .
