South Cornwall Day 1 - Lands End to Marazion

Sunday 2nd July 2017

Walking Diary (All Walks) Long Distance Walks South Cornwall - SWCP 2017

Day 1 - Lands End to Marazion. A long hard & hot start to the South Cornwall Coast Path. The glorious weather we had all hoped for was certainly there, but day 1 was a real test - probably too far in these conditions. Water shortage soon had Paul needing a bit of TLC, and albeit the views were beautiful & spectacular - we were all pleased to arrive in Marazion and get properly re-hydrated (with Real Ale).

Starting from the same place that we finished 3 years earlier - Lands End. 166 miles of glorious coastal walking lay ahead before we arrive at our destination - Plymouth. First photo opportunity for our Golden Smog tops.
