On Sunday I set off on a short easy , 6 km one way walk to Lelant and then back, along another section of the SW Coastal Path. There were a few hilly sections but mostly it went along paths through the bush or sand dunes. There were no rocks, mud or large boulders to deal with. Lelant is SE of St Ives on the Hayle Estruary. It was a pretty, gentle walk with views of the water, cliffs, tidal sand flats, hang gliders distant coastline etc.
At Lelant I went into a little old church , St Uny. Tthe 11 th century church had been added to. It was clearly an active community, lots of kids activities, mothers groups etc Then I walked on to a pub for a drink. I sat down at a table and was surprised by a huge great done taking up several seats at the table on the other side of a partition to me. All the locals came in and greeted him as if he was a permanent fixture.
On the way back I stopped for lunch at a cafe and had nice pizza. I got talking to a couple from Bristol who were staying in the area. I walked with them back to St Ives and then pottered around with them for a bit.
