Duporth to Polpero(ish)

After a fantastic picnic breakfast at our Airbnb we left Duporth and headed towards Charlestown.

The route was much flatter than the previous evening and we passed lots of holiday homes, empty beaches and quite a busy golf course. We then walked through Par which is a bit of an eyesore as most of the coast & town is taken up by china clay works.

After Par the route got a little hillier as we ascended onto Gribbin Head, here stands a Greco Gothic Tower that functions as a day marker to aid navigation into the rocky harbour of Fowey.

After continuing around the coastline we stopped in Fowey for lunch which was pretty busy as it's now half term. We got the passenger ferry over to Polruan and continued onwards.

We decided to stop for a wildcamp site a little outside of Polpero as the path onwards looks very cliff edge like on the OS map. Just thought to add it has been beautifully sunny again today! Fingers crossed this weather stays.

Unfortunately no more caterpillars so this Bloody-nosed beetle will have to do.
