I have now gone over half way along the Couth West Coast Path and am over half way on this last leg of my journey - I'm coming home. Three of us walked today, 2 Toms and a Martin were joined by Brolly who was happy to be back after her break. The day began with 2 ferries from Falmouth across the estuary to St. Mawes and then to St. Anthony. The weather was hot, the sea was calm (Martin's sentence). Tom Allan featured a lot today. First he left his camera int he second ferry (later retrived), then climbed to the top of a practice mast, then went swimming off a pier, and then at the very end of a hard walk led us off the path so that the last 2 miles took 2 hours. I have not until this very day got lost once. Martin was in the front almost all the time and is a brilliant walker. He is in many ways brilliant except at putting up his tent which I did not get involved in but took the 2 of them almost half an hour. During this time I went to the pub to order food. Events took a dramatic turn as we decended into Pendower Beach. A plump Cornish couple had spied a floating object out at sea through their flashy telescope. They enlisted my help in identifying it - it was clearly a dead seal and not the Cornish sea monster as Martin had hoped. I have mentioned that we are camping in Portloe but not that it is at the grassy end of the public car park where they clearly say Camping is Not Allowed. Read this space to see if we make it through the night.
