The photo is dominated by a large bank of layered clouds across the sky. The bottom half of this is a band of turbulent, swirling clouds in various shades of grey with some white. Above this is a large mound of fluffy white clouds, lit up by the sun. There is blue sky above and below the cloud, although it is brighter above. Below the lower section of blue sky, there is a line of land with buildings visible on it and then blue sea below that. In the bottom right corner in the foreground is a section of steep, grass-covered hillside on my side of the sea channel.

🌊 It now costs over £1 MILLION a year to care for the South West Coast Path. Costs have doubled in 5 years due to the impacts of climate change, storms and increased footfall. To keep the Path open and safe, we must invest in resilience. 💙 #SWCP

Sunday Strolls🥾
It’s our favourite time of year when long beach walks can be enjoyed as part of the #SWCP experience. October is filled with stunning sunsets, windswept beaches, and the opportunity to wrap up warm for a bracing coastal walk.

A Cornish beach next to granite rocks, the falling tide revealing golf sand and small streams of water. Clear blue sky with light clouds on the horizon.

A white boat with a small cabin laying on the sands of a tidal estuary. The sun reflects on small pools of water, and trees line the river bank, their leaves turning to autumn colours

I reached Plymouth on the South West Coast Path yesterday, so it's goodbye to Cornwall. I've enjoyed (most of) it! #SWCP #CoastPath
But that's the end of this visit so it's the train back home today.

A rectangular building at the apex of a triangular mound, all seen in silhouette against a bright sky with clouds shining silver and grey in the bright sun.

Here's an arty picture of the medieval chapel on Rame Head outside Plymouth, taken on the #SWCP #CoastPath today.

A humugous square tower painted in bright red and white bands stands against a clear blue sky. A few people in silhouette are standing by railings which surround the tower's base.

Red, white and blue. (Gribben Head) #SWCP #CoastPath

A derelict ship's hull aground in mud in an empty dock. On the wharf above, small shacks and two temporary gazebos. Some more substantial buildings line a road above.

Before I looked at yesterday's #SWCP #CoastPath section I'd never heard of Charlestown. Now a relic of primary extractive industry from past centuries, I read it's now used as a film set. Poldark has used it. Sometimes there are tall ships in the harbour, but not yesterday.

A small blue and white boat, the "Place Ferry", moored at a jetty in a calm blue harbour

A panoramic shit of a wide sandy beach with gentle waves breaking white on the sand. The sea and sky are blue. No clouds. A low headland at the far end of the beach.

A few white houses with grey roofs nestle in a valley with green hills under a blue sky with a few white clouds

A lighthouse in the shape of an octagonal tower with two added chimneys. The tower is painted white and one side is catching the sunlight.

Yes folks, I'm back on the #SWCP South-West Coast Path. Perfect weather today. Some photos -

To celebrate the Autumn Equinox, we are sharing this beautiful photo of last year’s Harvest Moon.

Easier day than yesterday

#SWCP

18 miles through Poldark country.
Loe Bar, Mullion Cove, Kynance, and Lizard Point nearly did me in.
This was the hardest day yet.

Day 10 on the South West Coast Path was a tribute to my mother-in-law, who we lost her to cancer a few years ago.

It also reminded me why I’m doing this.

Not a book. Not a script. Just the real story.
