South West Coast Path Challenge

Tonight you will arrive at your accommodation in St Ives and will have the opportunity to meet the rest of the team of trekkers. After settling into the accommodation you will then get to meet all of the challenge leaders and support team at the all-important welcome and safety briefing. This will be where your leaders explain everything you need to know about the days ahead, including what to take with you on the trek each day and what to put in your luggage that will meet you each night at camp. It will also be your opportunity to ask any questions and get to know the team. It will then be early to bed, excited about the adventure ahead

Our longest day begins through old tin mines and iron age forts as we continue westwards towards Land’s End, the most westerly point of England. Today’s route includes some magnificent views from Cape Cornwall which, if we are honest, we prefer to its more famous landmark site of Land’s End. We then turn south and reach the beautiful beach and dunes at Whitesand Bay before having time to stop at Land’s End for the obligatory photo! On a clear day, there are fantastic views across the sea out to Bishop’s Rock Lighthouse and the Isles of Scilly. If you are lucky you may spot dolphins or basking sharks from here.

Our route continues on along more spectacular cliffs and hidden coves before we reach the village of Porthcurno, home to the famous  open-air Minack Theatre carved into the rock.  Our campsite is just past the town where we will be glad of the chance to recharge our batteries before the final day of walking tomorrow.
