Headed up Kilmar tor on Bodmin moor for sun set this evening.  Enjoying the long summer evening while they last.

Instead I walked around The Loe, again, again,again. Cafe now open, so not bad.

Thanks for the replies, Mike, Ridge, BuzyG, Karl. I got back home mid morning after a disgustingly early start - I broke camp at 0520.



Can anybody work out where I camped?

Would have been a good plan steamy, the early part of the route needed a few people to beat the undergrowth down.  It was upto my shoulders in some places and right across the path.  Took me a little over five hours in the end, quite a stoney route and despite thick soled boots it was pretty rough on the feet.  The poor dog is walloped too.

If that's Mung common and Blencathra in front and the east ridge of Great Calva on the right I'd guess near the bottom of Bowscale fell around Blackhazel beck somewhere. But I have been known to be wrong :)
wherever it is it looks a lovely spot

The section from St. Ives to Zennor is even stonier I seem to remember.
Where is your next walk down this end?
Was the bar at Land's End open?

Nice try but no cigar, I'm afraid Karl. I was camped about half a mile up Wiley Gill.   :)


Edit - Blackhazel Beck does look tempting, but it is the wrong side of the River Caldew, and there is no bridge...

 Next one will probably be lands end to Penzance but not for a week or so id imagine, its a bit of a trip down there from home at Newquay and i have to be in the mrs good books to blag a lift back.  I tend to walk north from home at the moment then i can make my own way back when ive had enough, gets a bit 'samey' hence the trip a bit further today for a change.
First and last was closed from what i saw today, quite a few people at Cape Cornwall, the cafe and toilets were shut there as well.

I'm close enough so calling that a win :D
Blackhazel beck is a nice way down  It makes for an alternate Bowscale round. We did it a couple of years ago

Let me know when you have worked out a route.  Done it in stages, but it is quite a long way around the SWCS.

Finally got round to doing the walk we were supposed to do next when lockdown got in the way.  A circular from Bampton using the Exe Valley Way.  Streuth it was up and down, can't have been more than a couple of hundred metres of flat in it!

Soon I will be car camping and walking. I've booked a pitch on a campsite near Malton. I will take a tent. I can sleep in my car on the camp bed, or in the tent. The toilet block is not open but that's ok, I can be self sufficient with my portapotti, facilities for emptying it are open on site. Oooh, I can post a pic, the computer has updated itself, but it's massive. Don't know how to shrink it.
