Porthcothan to Mawgan Porth

We took the train from Plymouth to Newquay this morning, then dropped our bags at our B&B and took a bus to Porthcothan to walk to Mawgan Porth. The weather was overcast but sharp and crisp and perfect for walking.

We got to the train early and snagged a table. Bob got a couple hours of work in before we arrived in Newquay. Nice way to work remote!

We had to leave before breakfast at the B&B but luckily had foodstuff left over from Saturday and was able to buy tea on the train.

First hike of 2023. Porthcothan to Mawgan Porth. Easy walk, mostly flat; a nice way to break in our legs and knees!

Gorgeous pink Sea Thrift

Yellow gorse in bloom everywhere!

Check out the craftsmanship on this stone wall!

That's Mawgan Porth down below. We have an hour to swim before the bus comes.

First swim of the trip. Water was painfully cold at first, but then invigorating!

We make it back in time for the carvery in Newquay though it was a disappointment. Rattler cider was excellent though!
