Date: Wednesday 23rd March
Distance: 5.5 miles
Route: Along beach out of Sennen, up onto cliff tops and along coastal path to Cape Cornwall, then inland to St Just village
If Tuesday was all pain and fog, Wednesday was all sunshine and smiles - a lovely stretch of coastal path and beautiful blue skies, with only a few aches from the previous day's misadventures.
We started up by parking up in the free car park in St Just village, then catching the bus to Sennen Cove. The walk started off gently with a stroll along the vast sandy beach (with surfers providing a bit of distraction), before climbing slowly up onto the cliffs and along the coast - not too much ascending and descending and whilst the walking sticks came in handy they weren't essential.
Porth Nanven is a very picturesque boulder-strewn beach (complete with car park) that breaks up the cliffs and is a good place to hang around and eat lunch, then the path continues on to turn into a stony car-wide track over the hillside to Cape Cornwall (see Walk 1), from where you follow the road inland to the village of St Just.
Not much more to say, to be honest, just a really straightforward walk punctuated by ultra-dramatic scenery - perfect.
