Both walks were to begin and end at Mawgan Porth, with the first day's walk heading East from Porth Bay (4.8 miles) and the second day walking West from Constantine Bay (8.3 miles). There was one deviation from our original plan when the bus from Mawgan Porth to Porth didn't turn up so we starting walking from Mawgan Porth in the hope that we'd pick up a bus at the end - we did. Two more days without rain and two more days of fantastic views. Strange to think that the next time we'll be near the sea will be at the other end of the UK on the Orkney Isles - and that's in a few days. Yippee!

 |
| Unknown beach just west of Mawgan Porth - I can't be bothered to check it out on the map. You do it. |
 |
| Herring Gull launching into flight. |
 |
| This Dunnock does not look happy. It's giving us the evil eye. Oi, get orff my patch. |
 |
| Oh look, another Cornish beach. This one is Constantine Bay. Oh look, the sky is no longer blue. |
 |
| Another stone wall. This one reflects the type of stone (actually slate) available locally. The herring bone pattern is quite common where there's lots of slate - around Tintagel and Delabole for example. |
 |
| Bedruthan Steps, just East of Mawgan Porth. A tourist magnet. Bedruthan was a mythical Cornish giant rather than a place. |
 |
| A fretwork panel we came across just outside of Mawgan Porth. Not sure what it signifies but it was interesting to come across. Note added after a little research: apparently it functions as a place for collecting items dropped 'on the way' with the hope that someone will claim them. Nice idea but I couldn't see the £50 note I'd dropped. |
