Trail Reviews
Almost more beautiful today than yesterday in the sunshine... Still a fascinating floral frenzy... Lots of direct and steep climbs...
I travelled by bus from Tintagel to Port Isaac. Two busses, 95 & 96, only one good connection - take the 08.00 departure of the 95 from Tintagel, then a one hour total journey. (2024 timetable)
What a damn tour. It's not just that it's steep (steep!!!) uphill and downhill a few times, because it had poured all day the day before, the paths were muddy and you partially sunk in the morass. In addition, at the end you walk for kilometers on a beaten path, directly at the abyss, which is so overgrown that you sometimes don't recognize it. Ukd mud, mud, mud. In addition, every few kilometers you have to overcome some kind of protective wall, which King Arthur probably put there sometime in the 13th century. It's a tour to despair, in addition to that there were always new showers today and everything was wrapped in a mystical fog. I don't know what I would have done today without my sticks... Holy Shit...
