Gurnard's Head and Carn Galva from Zennor Head

20 Jul 2012

873

A wonderful stretch of the the South West Peninsula Coast Path, Zennor, West Penwith, Cornwall. Gurnard's Head; so named because of its resemblance to the fish. The raised coastal platform, or strip, will immediately be apparent to all you amateur geographers out there!

Buitres Leonidas. Griffon Vultures. I was fortunate to get this close. I was upwind and in the shade; it helped! El Cancho de La Bola, Sierra de La Cabrera. Photo taken in May 2013, regardless of the exif date!

Whether it's a Shetland pony as all the notices say, or not, has been discussed at length on Panoramio. I still don't know!. I can't get local people to confirm either. People say it is too big to be a Shetland. I should put this question on Rene's new group! Perhaps I will!

Granite areas allow for terrific walking conditions due to the friction it gives. You can hop from rock to rock without fear that you might slide of! In other words, this is my ideal walking country! In the background, Penelara, the highest peak in the Sierra de Guadarrama.

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall. High tide (at low tide, this is on one of my favourite shoreline rock-hopping 'walks'!). The South West Peninsula Coast Path once followed the line of the fence. Now it has to veer sharply inland due to severe coastal erosion.

There is a great low tide walk along the shore line here (this is the half-way point). It is about 2 miles (3.2 km) long, takes 1.5 to 2 hours and involves some rock hopping but not too much. The crucial things is that the timing needs to be accurate!

Portreath, Cornwall. Photo taken in July 2011. Exif says November 2011. I was in Spain in 11/2011. I am always puzzled by this sort of thing! Last chance to save this site. www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity/x/16256307

Back in 2013, for a few months, I lived in a high-rise block and used to wake up to terrific sunrises!

Another fine sunrise to wake up to. I was fortunate for a few months as there were many such sunrises (Late 2012, early 2013).

Blue rope. Path to the beach at high tide. Porthto…

If you follow this path down to where it meets the cliff face ahead, you can then be guided by the blue rope (more easily visible on large) down the steep slope to the beach. It's much easier than it looks but not for the fainthearted! At low tide you simply walk round the headland! My 200th photo on ipernity. That equates to just over one a day. More than I thought. I hope to upload 1,000s eventually!! :o)

Sorry about this HFF shot two days early but my plans are too fluid to know whether I'll be on-line on Friday or not! This was taken on April 25, 2016 as the town was preparing for it's bull feria..
