    You just can't beat the quality of the light at / around sunrise (and, of course, sunset) - vastly superior to the harsh light at / around midday. That looked to be a strenuous (or should that be serious!) route and towards then end I started to feel your pain. Well done on completing the walk. Another excellent video...and your choice of music is likewise excellent.

      Very true that, Ken - dawn and sunset - two magic hours. This was a real tough stretch, and hot! Was glad to reach St Ives, I can tell ya!

    Thanks for this, we're in St Ives soon and thinking of getting the bus to Botallack and walking back to St Ives. We did Zennor to St Ives last year and Penzance to St Ives via St Michael's Pilgrim walk, which was excellent.

    06.00 or 07.00 in the morning is a brilliant time to get up and out, not a soul about and you feel as though everything belongs to you - well I do anyway lol. Real roughed coastline and always something to look at, looks a great walk. The path looked real clear and easy to follow with not too much up and down - my type of walk, especially on a day like that but an emotional slog puts a bit of a damper on it lol, cheers Alan

    A lovely video again :-) And such a fantastic path in wonderful weather. You are doing some long stretches :-) But when you start at 6 AM, you have the whole day ahead :) We walked from St. Ives to Zennor where we had an overnight stay, and the next day from Zennor to Pendeen. Both stretches were really nice and not too long or strenuous. The only really draining stretch was actually the loooong road uphill from the path, past the Geevor mine museum and up to The North Inn, Pendeen, where we stayed one night. This is my third time (done it both ways) from St. Ives -> Zennor, and I just love that path :) The views are wonderful and the heather is out of this world and we spotted some seals at the Carracks. Happy walking :-)

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  5 лет назад +1

      Oh how lovely to spot the seals. I haven't on my walks for a while but the other day whilst on our Cornish holiday we saw one swimming off the rocks when we were bathing at Porth chapel beach. Thanks for watching,Torrunn. All the best.

      @@SummitOrNothing They are really lovely. We have spotted seals in several places. Also in Porth (Polly) Joke. If you want a closer look at them, I will recommend a "Snorkelling with seals" trip with Scilly Seal Snorkelling at The Isles Of Scilly :-) I did that this summer. It was really fun :-) And I brought my GoPro and took some underwater footage while I was in the sea with the seals :)
