Porthcurno, Porthgwarra and Penberth Cove

A good walk along this granite coast.

About halfway between Porthcurno and Penberth cove. APOLOGIES! I SEE THAT I HAVE DOUBLE-POSTED THIS. I would delete this second one but there are two many nice comments for me to feel good about it so i will leave it as it is but remove it from all albums and groups!

Logan Rock, Porthcurno (and small boat and kayak) For Pam.

Near Penberth Cove. The montbretia is lovely but a non-native invasive species - as is the bracken, introduced as fodder by the Romans (but then I suppose we all are when one comes to stop and think about it!)

Cornish coast near Penberth Cove. Black and on full screen please. You can then just about make out the Lizard Peninsula in the very far distance (the southernmost point in the United Kingdom). This shot is taken approx 5 miles from Land's End, (the most westerly point of England) These geographical niceties matter!

Lonely yacht and deep blue sea. For Pam. I have no editing tool at the moment and this is therefore as seen. Yes, the sea really was this blue! And I think I got a straight horizon as well, Keith!

I got chatting to the two walkers seen at the bottom of the photo. They were walking the entire Cornwall section of the South West Peninsula Coast Path and had given themselves 6 weeks to do it with the odd week's rest here and there! They looked fit, seemed determined and were over half way round and at about half way in terms of their allotted time frame! I have no doubt they succeeded, and in time to get back to Stanford University where they were both studying for their MBAs. I told them that I had helped Spanish students with their MBA applications to Stanford, Yale, Duke and Harvard - which had to be in English of course. I was pleased to report that I had helped one candidate into Stanford, one to Duke and another to Yale! However the Harvard MBA programme candidate was never going to get on the programme (but I got my fee anyway!). OK, program (not programme) as these were all US MBA courses!

Near Penberth Cove, Cornwall. For Pam. The two intrepid walkers seen here were American students and passionate long-distance pathers! They had already done over half of the Coastpath in astounding time (I can't remember more details, Google stole my notes as well as my photos in 2016!). I think I come here often but this August 2015 visit was the last time. Time flies.

The West Penwith area at the extreme southwest of Cornwall is 100% granite.

. I know this was a recent Pano upload but anyway!.... August 2015, Cornwall.

Penberth Cove, Southwest Peninsula Coast Path, Cornwall. Taken August 2015, re-posted December 2020. For Pam.

I share a fondness of this tiny cove with Nick Weall!

The only thing missing here is a lovely Cornish pub! However, if you are thirsty enough to undergo a 25 minute trudge uphill, you can reward yourself with an energy re-charging and refreshing pint of bitter at The Logan Rock pub in Treen.

Tucked away between Porthcurno and Lamorna. Perhaps best on large.
