A day of crossing Cornwall from south coast to north.
I pick my way across fields, legs soaked with morning dew, talking to farmers and avoiding the mine shafts which crouch hidden in the landscape
Finishing with a drink in St Ives harbour.
DAY 1: Land's End to Penzance (10.64m)
Started early at the deserted Land's End visitor centre with the whole of the country ahead of me.
Setting off around the coast (passing the shipwrecked rusting hull of the RMS Mülheimf) I soon cut in land at Sennen Cove.
Inland I head forwards a couple of carns - Carn Brea and Carn Euny. I was alone at Carn Euny wandering the ruins of the iron age villages with it's surviving fogou or underground passage.
Final stretch of the first day over fields and along country lanes into Penzance.
Walk starts on 19th April...gulp
Three weeks to go until I start walking
