Bus 57 back to Padstowe and then bus 56 to Porthcothan arriving at either 09.11 or 10.12 respectively. NB: there is a 50 mins wait at Padstowe for connecting bus so we have chance for a breakfast and / or coffee.

Todays hike is classed as Moderate and is 10.3 miles (16.6 km) long.
This stretch of coast, with its vicious rocks and wild seas, was once particularly hazardous for ships and responsible for many wrecks before the lighthouse was built at Trevose Head. The path leads in and out of little coves and headlands with fairly easy walking, with some steep steps to climb in places.
The stretch becomes fairly populated as we approach Newquay.
