The last post details the reasoning behind a change of plan from doing the entire South West Coast Path to doing just the Cornwall part, followed by the Tour du Mont Blanc. In an irritating-but-maybe-predictable plot twist, our daughter’s graduation was pushed to a week earlier, so we didn’t need to postpone departure after all. Oh well!!
Anyway, thanks to the amazingly helpful Kwan at Westcountry Walking Holidays, we have all accommodation booked. Here’s the itinerary for the Cornwall portion:
