Porthleven to Lizard Point

Porthleven to Lizard Point - Thursday 18th April 2013

Path Facts - Length: 13.4 miles, Ascent: 2428 feet

Longest day of this leg today. Still windy. Ascent about average. Quite sunny but still cold. Still big waves in Porthleven harbour.

For a short spell some really dark clouds came over and rain bordering on sleet came down with some force. Donned everything whilst sheltering behind a house and carried on.

Loe Bar was considerably more impressive than expected though the emerging sun and big waves probably helped a lot.

 

 

 

Marazion to Porthleven

Marazion to Porthleven - Wednesday 17th April 2013

Path Facts - Length: 10.6 miles, Ascent: 1749 feet

Left about 9.30 am. Wind blowing a gale this morning and fairly cool. Gauging temperature regulation can be tricky sometimes. You get a fair sweat on with a pack on and wearing a Goretex but it's too cold and damp to remove many layers.

The coast became a bit wilder again after yesterday's semi-urban ramblings.
