Walk the Salt Path / South West Coastal Path

The salt path / South west Coastal Path was Britains longest national trail at 630 miles long from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset.
It still forms part of the current longest trail - the newly created King Charles 3rd Coastal path of England.

Over the last 15 years or so I have hike parts of the Coastal path as part of circluar hikes and liners hikes with various groups including Go Heart of England with Paul; the now defuct Hike West Midlands and Warickshire with Jon, the scouts and explorer scouts that I once lead and various hikes by myself. Most have been on the Southern Coast of the route.
Last Year I decided I would fill in the gaps....thats still most of the 630 miles! starting at the northern Atlantic coast side as this I have bearly touched. After a two week holiday and a further 4 day long weekend I completed from MineHead to Port Issacc.

So heres this year's plan which you are all welcome to join.

Port Issacc to Helston over 13 days. the plan is a series of day hikes and camping at 3 sites along the way. Traveling to and from start / finish points using buses or depending on interest and attendance we may use cars parked at each end of a days hike.
I will list each days hike as separate events. I will be camping at the sites listed below. Please arrange your own bookings and note there are plenty of other sites / hotels / bnb's / caravan options near by.
I intend to eat out most evenings at pubs or resturants / fish n chips etc and have a few beers. Bus journey may be up to 2 hours with changes required due to the nature and location of the hikes.

I have booked the sites using Campsites.com but most are also on Pitchup.com or you may wish to book directly with the site. The sites don't want large groups so please book as if you were just taking your own break away.

Sunday 7th June 2026 I drive down to the Laurels Holiday Park
Padstow Road, Whitecross, Wadebridge, Cornwall, PL27 7JQ
We are there till Thursday 11th June 2026. 4 nights. Cost for a small tent £108.00
Thursday 11th June we transfer to the Blue Hills Touring Park.
Cross Coombe, Trevellas, St Agnes, Cornwall, TR5 0XP
3 nights here costing £75.00
Sunday 14th June see our final transfer to Stream Valley Holiday park.
Heamoor, Penzance, Cornwall, TR20 8UJ for 6 nights. Cost £210.00
Please note this site has electric hook ups but no phone or TV signal.
This site also charges £1 extra for the shower payable on contactless card.
The advantage of the site is it close to Penzance for both transport and eating out / all major supermarket are here. The site is central for hiking from the north coast past Lands End and on to the southern coast.

Please note there is no need to commit to the whole 2 weeks. so long as I know who you are, where you are staying and which days you wish to join that will be fine. Walks will start from a set point and end at a set point largly set by the bus arrival / departure times or if we use our own cars as and when. Is it is best to stay if possible on the same site or keep in contact.
