Over this weekend I've done Porthtowan to Hayle and then Hayle to St. Ives. Was tough as first walk of the season. Great weather and an enjoyable walk.
Hi John. That’s a great stretch of the path. I know what you mean about 1st walk of the season, I’m currently on day 3 of my current walk and have found it tough at times.
Hi Paul, really enjoying watching your videos as curious about the SWCP - started from the beginning and carrying on through. Really well done, it's not easy at all to do those strenuous walks and get the filming in. Fab music and editing too. This episode I can relate - those dreaded dogs that wee on you. Hope you were ok after that. Have had my beach tent peed on so many times - after washing, now I spray it with citrus detol spray, that seems to have fixed it. Looking forward to your other videos - onto day 20! Thank you. Miranda.
Hi Miranda, glad you are enjoying the videos. If you’re curious about the SWCP and have any questions just ask. I think from memory I washed that shirt and sponged my bag at the campsite that night so all was good 😊
Yes I think at the time that was the furthest walk I had done. It was a fairly flat section so manageable. Yes the dog incident was funny when I look back on it, not so much at the time though 🤣
Beautiful - but seriously long - walk 🤩 Lovely North Cliffs and Mutton Cove. Good choice to walk on the beach. The dunes can be hard work and with limited views as you said. And I believe that it is not frowned upon, if Paddy Dillon says it's OK 😁 And the beaches and the colour of the sea all the way to St. Ives are amazing. But it was really horrible with the dog incident 🤮😄
I wish my camera was able to provide better quality when zoomed in. The seals at Mutton Cove were hard to capture but I felt it was worth including that clip of them. Thankfully the present from the dog did not smell 🤮
Really enjoying your videos of Newquay to Penzance at the moment as I am booked to do that section at the end of August. Doing it with B&B accommodation along route. Doing slightly different sections than you to fit into the accommodation options. You videos are such a great source of information so thank you.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 I have experienced a fair bit of that section already ( holidays etc ) but not so much on the path so it will be great to join it all up. The beach at porthcurno is so beautiful
More excellent stuff from you Paul - many thanks, each one is brilliant! A long day - I have previously stopped in Hayle and walked to St Ives as a half-day or nero. I am vicariously upset by the leg-cocking incident - did the owners have anything to say?
Thank you. It’s so nice to hear when people like the videos. I would probably recommend splitting the walk at Hayle. I would have liked to have spent more time on the beaches and had a swim but I didn’t have time if I wanted to stick to my plan. The owner didn’t see it happen. Thankfully it did not smell.
Another good little story - so useful and interesting ahead of my own walk from Newquay to Plymouth starting next Tuesday - Very well done on the 22 miles with the tent and all the stuff.
