Day 1, Lizard to Coverack.
A warm dry morning as I left Winscombe for the coach-train-bus journey to the Lizard where I had started the Coast Path walk last year. This time I will be going east in an attempt to complete the section to the end at Poole.

Housel Bay Hotel, last year's starting point |
The bus got me to Lizard by 14.30 and I set off in some sunshine. It was quite hot and I should have had my shorts on but couldn't be bothered to faff around unpacking the rucksack so carried on in my trousers.

Lloyds signal station |
Up, down and over headlands, just as I remembered it but there are a lot more people about. Tourist season is not over yet, the good weather must have tempted people out as well.
|
The coast |
The first place along the coast was Cadwith, a tiny fishing village with no harbour. Just a big winch to pull the boats up the beach.

There wasn't an excessive amount of climbing involved, just enough to keep it interesting and some good cliff scenery.
|
The Devil's Frying Pan |
Just before Coverack I came across a sculpture park which was a nice finish for the day.

A fine bronze boar |
I was just eating my dinner when the rain started. A good night to test the new tent.
