This one meant a lot. Right on my doorstep (almost!), and a route that I had not run any part of previous. 

I experienced some minor navigational issues in the first 5km. Mainly fields with a handful of options. I would say just have either recce’d it previously (fail on my part there), or all eyes on the gpx on your watch at these junctions! 

Conditions were great. Albeit a little sloppy in some areas due to the recent wet conditions.

Way more road / Cornish track that what some may expect to encounter.

It’s a real treat finishing up in Fowey. Lots of food options and super picturesque.

Good luck to all future FKT’ers on The Cornish Saints Way.
