South West Coast Path Day 5 - 7 September 2022

Leaving Penzance, it was a long walk with the railway line on one side and the sea on the other. The railway veered away and the walkway then led into Marazion.

St Michaels Mount

We then found the coast path which meandered up and down, past Praa Sands and then more ups and downs leading to Porthleven.


It had been dry nearly all day but in Porthleven the wind came on and it was clear there was heavy rain coming. I had planned to camp somewhere beyond Loe Bar but read online that there have been recent problems with wild campers who are regularly moved on. Anyway, the wind coming off the sea was not going to make for a peaceful night. We headed out of Porthleven to a campsite but before reaching it we found a gravel path with grass either side and we're pitched there. The rain has been torrential on and off. It's also a dog walkers route. Will need to be away very early in the morning.

15.5 miles walked.
