March For Merlin Day Fourteen

Day 14 Tuesday 21st September Gunwalloe to Cadgwith

Had an excellent evening with Mike and Chrissie. We were dropped at Gunwaloe at 9.30and sat off for the Lizard in steamy hot weather - again. We have been so incredibly lucky with the weather. The path was quite up and down but none of it difficult. Passed the Marconie Memorial at Poldhu, Mullion Cove, trying to recognise the spot where William Casley painted the picture we have, and on to Kynance Cove. The walking was wonderful on grassy downland and we stopped for our picnic among the rocks high above the beach below. It was hard to imagine a more idyllic place - and in glorious sunshine. From there we rounded the Lizard lighthouse, filled our water bottles at England's southernmost restuarant, and watched some seals for a while and then headed for Cadgwith. We negotiated some steep climbs and descents and arrived at 5.00 pm. While we waited for Sue Nathan to pick us up had a delicious Kelly's ice cream and wrote postcards.

Heights climbed 1700 ft.
