Coast 2 Coast

Over the weekend the two leaders and two Explorers took part in Mid-Cornwall Districts coast2coast challenge.

We went down Friday night and set up camp at Nineashes.  Saturday morning we awoke early, 6!! to frost covered tents and a chilly start.  After brekky we were coached to the start line at Par.  From Par we then followed roads and footpaths back to Nineashes.  We walked 22 miles, and once at camp had plenty of time to relax and recover and have some tea.  Sunday morning was another cold frosty start.  After brekky we then left the campsite and again followed roads and footpaths to Port Issac.  This section of the walk was 12 miles.

The weekend was great fun and the weather was clear, sunny and hot! We managed to complete the 34 miles in 11 hours and 25 minutes, smashing all our previous years time!! This was our fifth year.  Again we went in fancy dress and came first out of the very few groups who dressed up :)

We all got a badge and certificate for completing the walk.
