Asparagus Island with its shafts and adits from Samphire Island.
Porthcadjack. I used to like to eat my sandwiches from this location on top of the crest of Samphire Island.
I think these were no more than exploratory mines, sunk more in hope than expectation. Nonetheless you have to admire the skill and the bravery! Access only by boat or from above; neither easy at all!
Where you can see the orange lichen, such as under my foot at the top of Samphire Island, that would be granite. Much of the other rock is Devonian sandstone. Places such as this with a mish-mash of rock types might indicate mineral presence as well which is why the prospective miners had hopes. Much of the tin, copper etc is to found right on the edge of granite country.

Thank you all!
Andy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne clubWhen I first climbed up here, it was many years after first seeing the place from below or afar. Then one day, to my amazement, I saw a large group of people of all ages, toddlers to grandparents, following an easy and previously unseen route up to the top.
Naturally I followed. They were one large extended family from Yorkshire who had holidayed in Portreath over many years and it was a tradition for the whole family and friends to picnic here once a year. It had been one of the grandparents who had first done this as a lad in the 60s, they told me.
I try to make it a tradition with me too!
