DAY 5 ~ 12th September: Trevone to Watergate Bay
Another champagne day of sunshine. Going listed as 'easy' and so it was. The popular resort beaches of Harlyn Bay,Mother Ivey's Bay,Booby's Bay,Constantine, Treyarnon flashed by as did our friends house at the Cellars, Polventor and Trevose House for seven miles until Porthcothan,where Nessie Wilkins supplied us with an excellent picnic,when the going was 'moderate' and some steep climbs started again for the next seven miles(14 miles for the day) and we extended our walk to Watergate Bay, a few miles ahead of our origianal schedule. S-J's painful knee continued and we bought a knee brace at the St Merryn Corner Shop. The pedomenter reads 84 miles,reflecting the shorter steps of going up and down the hills. The map distance is 62 miles. the cliffs were 4-500 ft high and the total for the day was about 1600ft.
Bryan has collected a total of £125.00 in his Merlin tin in the last three days
