day 22: coaster community

we're coasters apparently, us nutters who walk the whole coast path in one go. and we've got a nice little community going now.

i started out this morning with my mum again. but she left me
in portloe around lunch time to get back home.

picking up my pace a bit, i managed to catch up to mike and zoe, two other coasters i've met a couple of times now. we joined forces and walked the rest of the day together into mevagissey.

it's really nice to find other people, arthur, and now them, to tag along with. we all spur each other on. i doubt i'd have bothered getting this far today if they hadn't been headed here.

zoe, on getting to mevagissey, headed off to find her friends who are putting her up for the night. i tagged along with mike while he tried to find a b&b for the night, to no avail. so we went to the pub.

in the pub we met a nice man who gave us some free fillets of freshly caught sole. having eaten already we're saving them for morning. i'm bizarrely looking forward to fish for breakfast.

leaving the pub we expected to walk for a good half hour to find a camping spot, but we ended up finding a spot still basically in mevagissey. where, despite facing east, we got some pretty good sunset clouds:

362 miles in now, which makes today a 17 miler for me. after a shorter day yesterday i was feeling it today.
