Cornwall - Day 6

Today were were meeting up with a whole lot of others from Bristol, who had taken over the Lizard Youth Hostel for a birthday weekend. The seven of us drove to the bottom of the peninsula in two cars and parked in the hostel car park.

After everyone had assembled, 28 of us set off up the east coast of the Lizard peninsula.

Very soon we passed under the Lizard lighthouse.



The weather was fine, though at times it was very muddy underfoot. We walked as far as the lifeboat station for a coffee stop.





We carried on round the spectacular coast, before heading inland across the moor.



Eventually we reached Kynance Cove on the west side of the peninsula, where we had our lunch stop.




After lunch we carried on down the coastal path back to our starting point. We passed the old lifeboat house on the way.



After the walk a few of us went for a pint in the Witch Ball pub in Lizard village. We then went home for showers, before returning in the evening to the youth hostel for a lovely communal dinner.
