Day 23. Penzance to Porthleven

As usual the signs for the south west coast path disappear in town.
Eventually we found our way to the path leading to Marazion with views all the way of the iconic St Michael's Mount.


It was a perfect day for walking, dry and not too sunny with a light breeze on our backs and the path was easy underfoot.
But I was struggling a bit.
Everything down my left side was aching.
I think I strained anything that could be strained yesterday when pulling myself back from the brink at Lamorna Cove.

We walked down through Perranuthnoe and the music school at Prussia Cove.

Felt better after a stop for lunch at the Sandbar at Praa Sands.
Got our timing right for once as a sudden rain shower passed through.


Praa Sands

The fairly level path continued after Praa Sands and this was the easiest day's walking for ages.

Engine house with Porthleven in the background.


Arrived in Porthleven with plenty of the day left to mooch around.
Porthleven had changed quite a bit since my previous visit with several new eateries and now Rick Stein's in town too.
