Walking towards Newquay. Approaching Porth having come from Mawgan Porth. January 2023 #cornwall #walking #coatpath

Cornwall. Between Watergate Bay and Porth. North of Newquay. January 2023 #cornwall #coastpath #walking

Portreath to Porthtowan. In terms of time I made heavy weather of it. But it never felt like that #cornwall #coastpath #walking

The Pepper Pot at Portreath. Once one of Cornwall's most important ports. Much copper ore to Swansea for smelting #cornwall #copper #portreath

No more than three miles between Portreath and Porthtowan. But not to be rushed #cornwall #coastpath #walking #portreath #porthtowan

Been going to Brixham for all of my years. Haven't tired of it yet #brixham #devon #torbay

Brixham's fishing fleet. A glorious Saturday in January. A fine town on the horizon as well #brixham #torbay #Devon

Views of the Devon countryside are imprecise on this journey. It's possible we're approaching Copplestone on the bus from Exeter

Impromptu bus timetable. Hatherleigh, Devon

No runs on the scoreboard today. But it's still January. Hatherleigh, Devon #cricket #Hatherleigh HatherleighCC

When you walk from St Erth to St Ives, there's the opportunity to photograpgh the train over and over again #cornwall #stives @gwrhelp

0845 from Exeter to St Erth. Walk to St Ives. A proper trip into Cornwall for the day #stives #cornwall #sterth

Hayle, Cornwall from near the church at Lelant #hayle #cornwall

Walking from St Erth to St Ives. The first real sight of the sea. View towards Godrivy #coastpath #Cornwall

By SW Coast Path standards Lelant-Carbis Bay-St Ives isn't particularly demanding. A paltry 'easy' in some of the guidebooks. Nothing wrong with that. Not at all #stives #carbisbay #coastpath #Cornwall

The St Erth to St Ives branch. Up and back; up and back. Two trains an hour; not much more than ten minutes from one end to the other. Quick turnrounds all day GWR #sterth #stives #Cornwall
