Friday 24th Sept Day 17
Had a lovely evening with Jane Scott who dropped us in Port Scatho at 9.00 am Quite a hard and hilly walk around Gerrans Bayvia Nare Head and then towards Portholland. We picnicked sitting in the grass overlooking Veryan Bay; blue blue water sparkling in the sun, the northerly wind meaning the sea was mirror calm. The expected showers somehow avoided us although we saw the rain sweeping past us over the sea. We were struck how autumnal it seemed walking through fallen leaves in the various woods we went through. Past Caerhays Castle and up to the Dodman, where we sat in the sunshine, made some phone calls as we had a rare signal and had a welcome Mars Bar to keep us going for the last leg to Gorran Haven. Jane collected us and took us to Valentia Grant Dalton at Place, where we had alovely evening with her, and the Keelers who dropped in for a drink. Legs felt very tired and heavy!
. We'd been wondering for some time how many gates and stiles we had been through and so today we counted them - the amazinng total of 56! Climbing over stiles and opening and closing gates certainly slows our average speed.
13 miles for day 210 cummulative, and estimated height 1900 ft
