Conquering the Costal Path!!

Well about time!! We finally managed to finish a coastal walk without feeling like we were going to die and made it from one place to another without having to turn around halfway through or shortcut to the road because it was so hard going!! Whoohoo!

Yesterday was a perfect day, seeing as it had finally stopped raining, to visit our old friend the Coastal Path!! We decided to go from Looe to Polperro, a nice distance of just 3 miles!

We were pleasantly surprise to find it was actually a really nice walk, a few ups and downs and of course a few of the lovely National trust steps! (urgh!) the weather held the whole day and we made it all the way to Polperro with plenty of energy to spare!

Of course no walk would be complete without a few highlights, I enjoyed seeing a couple lugging their bikes up the first lot of steps at Looe, seriously you think you're going to be able to cycle the coastal path! ha!! Needless to say we saw them turn around minutes later!!

I also dropped my sunglasses in a very suspect brown puddle in a cow field, nice!

I then slipped over pretty hard on the way there (the kind of slip you know is definitely going to leave a big bruise) and on the way back fell over again, forward this time, after my ankle twisted over resulting in a lovely hole in my trousers and a bleeding knee! ouch!....and to think people say I'm accident prone....apart from all that it was a great day out!
