A top day out on a muddy SW coast path. Quiet on the trails, busy in the tourist hotspots.
We cached a little food and water at Geever Tin Mine, Bosigran Farm and Penzance. Very easy to cache gear anywhere along the route. We also bought a few supplies at St Ives & Penzance during the run.
We started and finished the loop at Lands End, which seemed the most aesthetic option. We did make a few wrong turns when we ended up on the wrong side of a farmer's hedge or took a wrong turn on the coast path and went inland, always frustrating. Although the trail is signposted, it's worth having a gps & map to stay on track.
