I think it's about time I went back to the south west, it's been a few years since I did the bottom bit from Dorset to Lands End, so now I'll do some of the top bit, St Ives to Tintagel, maybe. I won't be walking the whole distance, it's more like a wander to have a look around kind of holiday.
I will be driving, as that's the quickest way to get down there, and I regard driving as part of the holiday, rather than being bored sat in a train. Looking at accommodation at the moment, can't decide whether to base myself about midway, dump the car, and use public transport out and/or back. Or there's the option of doing circular routes as well.
Hotels are pricey, checking places at the moment. There are youth hostels but I would like something a bit more comfortable as a birthday treat. I will take a tent with the option of having a night or two under canvas.
I've got maps and books out of the library, so that's my bed time reading for now.
