• Day 2 Penzance to Hayle

    May 21 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    After a very hearty breakfast at the Swordfish Inn we set off at around 9:30am. It was a very easy start to the walk, following the SWCP from Penzance to Marazion. Once the mist lifted we had a great view of St Michael’s mount. Then we left the SWCP to follow St Michael’s Way to the other side of the coast, where we will eventually join the SWCP again. St Michael’s way was a lovely path through rolling countryside. We the passed through Hayle and the last couple of miles to our campsite were through narrow country lanes, which were a bit scary as there are no footpaths and barely enough room for a person and a car to pass. But we got to the camp no problem, got the tent up. It’s a bit windy but the tent is still standing for now. The sun has come out and there is a public house across the road from the camp. What more could you want.
    PS John Says We had our first Cornish Pastie today. Well deserved. Body still in one piece😂 Finishing today with some St Ives Amber Ale, you have to support the local brewers.
