Polruan - Polperro (returnish) - Walking Cornwall For Cancer

 Heather Davison

Tracey Goss

Helped out with my penultimate tin collection in Truro on Sat 11 August.  Also in attendance were Heather Davison and Tracey Goss (pictured above), Jackie Godwin and hubbie and Bec Williams and Di Hart.  We raised £106 and the total from tin collections now stands at £881.65.  Hope to get to £1000 with the final one...

Polruan - Polperro and back - 4hrs - 10 miles

The next day I joined some inspiring women hoping to walk the Cornwall Coast path over the next 3 weeks for 2  charities, one of which is Cornwall Hospice Care.  It was Day 2 of their walk and unfortunately one of their number, Bex, was feeling poorly and wasn't with them. Hats off to Kirsty, Beccy and Rae (and Bex who rejoined them the next day).  I spent an enjoyable 2 hours on the return leg of Polruan- Polperro with the remaining 3 of them, having walked there on my own.  Check out their site and donate on their page if you can, or join them for a leg:

St Agnes - Perranporth return - 8 miles (3.5 hours)

Fairly flat apart from the start but what awesome scenery.  Who can fail to be impressed by this coast?  I must admit I'm beginning to fret about my fitness levels with only 3 months to go but when you have this coastline to look at who cares!  I met a chap called Ray en route from Falmouth, formerly Mt Hawke and Devon.  Nice chap - Hi Ray!!  Very rugged scenery and runs adjacent to the airfield.  I could imagine it in WW2 - anyone remember that? On to Perranporth where all the tourists were camped out on the beach regardless.  I saw a poor little boy suffering from a weever fish bite and directed him to the lifeguard who just directed the family miles away to the first aid hut - very helpful (not).

Do you know what to do if stung by such a beastie?
