This week's walk was shortened as a result of having Andrew as a visitor for the weekend and there was a priority on fixing the communications facilities for the upcoming canal journey! On the other hand, his speed of walking led us to a longer distance in the time than might have been the case left to ourselves!
Having parked at the National Trust car park not far from Pont, we wlked along lanes and across fields to Lansallos church. This building is still undergoing restoration following an arson attack. The roof now appears to be complete (about half of it had to be fully replaced) but the rest of the inside is still a working site! Meanwhile, services are held in the adjoining Sunday School.
Next, we walked the short distance down to the coastline and continued in the westerley direction, stopping shortly afterwards for our lunch picnic.
This is a very beautiful stretch of coast, but you are always either steeply ascending or steeply descending. There is little time on the level to recover!
With time catching up on us we headed back across a three fields to the spinal road that leads to Polruan, but took the narrow lane to Lanteglos church. (Known in slightly wider circles as Lanteglos-By-Fowey to avoid confusion with the Lanteglos near Camelford)
From there is was a simple task to follow the old track down to the road near Pont and back along the road to the car park.
