Long Distance Walking the North Coast of Cornwall Coastal Path

  North Cornwall Coast Path Walk: Devon to Land’s End in Six Days My friend and I just got back from an epic trip walking the entire North Coast of Cornwall on the Southwest Coast Path. This was a distance of 144.2 miles which we covered in full in just six days. It was no mean feat and something that the South West Coast Path suggests you walk in about 13 days!

Helvellyn via Striding and Swirral Edge in the Snow

Helvellyn via Striding and Swirral Edge in the Snow

Crib Goch and the Snowdon Horseshoe

Crib Goch and the Snowdon Horseshoe

After climbing Tryfan the day before, we had wanted to go up via Crib Goch but with the weather being unsuitable we had opted for the Pyg Track instead for safeties sake. This turned out to definitely be the right choose as the thick layer of snow and ice up on Pyg’s zigzag made it all very treacherous.   We started off with an early start of…
