Left Coverack after a hearty breakfast with the sun trying to break through, very nice after a couple of grey days. First stretch was a real mission as I wanted to get to Gillan Creek, 6 miles in to the day, more or less at low tide in order to cross the creek via its stepping stones and avoiding an extra couple of miles up river. So I upped the pace, passing several quarries (a couple of which sadly force the coast path inland across farm fields, albeit past several beautiful chocolate box thatched cottages in the village of Porthoustock).
Anyway, I made the crossing, then had a nice leisurely few miles along the wooded edge of the Helford river, lovely. My right shin is feeling it though, hoping a nice long rest in the New Inn at Manaccan then long sleep overnight will help get me to Falmouth tomorrow...
