The path away from Coverack was surprisingly boggy after a reasonably dry spell and then went through the middle of a disused quarry.
We were treated to a display by four or five performing seals at about twenty feet from the shore at Godrevy Cove.
They went through the full repertoire of flapping flippers, barking and rolling over.
Great fun to watch.
The path then turned inland around the back of more quarries and through the inevitable field of cows and this herd were right across the path and got a bit frisky when we got near them.
Then they all started towards us and we had to take evasive action by jumping over the nearest gate only to be told that we were trespassing by a woman in one of the cottages.
She must have confused us with someone that cares about such trivia.
We went through Porthoustock and more fields and lanes before coming across the wonderful Fat Apples Cafe near Porthallow.
Cottages near Porthallow
315 miles gone and only 315 to go.
These leaves were about 8 feet across
Only problem was that we couldn't find them and after chatting to a local, it seemed we were better off not finding them because they were so slippery that even spider man wouldn't stay on them.
So it was a painful barefoot wade across to St Anthony Church.
Looking back to Dennis Head
Getting to Helford seemed to take much longer than anticipated but when we did eventually get there we were sent up and around the back of the village and out the other side to get to the ferry, only to find the ferry wouldn't be running for over an hour due to the low tide.
So we were forced into the Shipwrights Arms for a drink.
When the ferry dropped us off at the other side we still had a bit more climbing to do to reach our accommodation, but all things considered it was quite an easy day.
