12 August. Hustyns to Lanivet walked. Saints Way Challenge is completed!

Brian, David P and PB had some interesting moments on the 6.5 miles that completed our summer challenge.


Club members please log in for more information.

We set out this summer to walk the 27 miles of the Saints Way between Padstow and Fowey, and on August 12 the final section was completed. Over the last two months members have walked from Padstow to Little Petherick, Little Petherick to Hustyns (on St. Breock Downs) Hustyns to Lanivet (Near Bodmin), Lanivet to Lanlivery, Lanlivery to Fowey and around Menabilly. The first and last of these were short, easy walks accessible to all club members. Web pages have been prepared with reports and photos of all these days. Overall, 10 members, partners and guests took part, and the Club as a whole looked to raise at least £1000 for charity. The local Friends Group of St. Petroc's Society was chosen as an appropriate and important cause, and support will also go to our own youth activities. As of now we have just surpassed our target, but are hoping that the completion of the Challenge will inspire more membership contributions.
The latest walk, reported here, was very enjoyable, - and packed with incident. Now read on.....




Are they coming or going? Near the start.


The hazards of country walking. Notice says do not lean on handrail!


The church at Withiel. Mr. Salmon points out the crocketed finials.




A walker takes a pew to enjoy a rest and a quick drink.


Bell ropes below the tower.


We find evidence of a double life led by one of our number. Look closely to see the name of the church Rector 20 years ago.


A rector's prayer is answered and we find a farm shop in the middle of nowhere just as hunger pangs grew.  Note:  the very late walk start time (accidental, see later) meant that a pub lunch was not possible.


An "honesty box" self service computer terminal proves a challenge.


Sulking about our non pub lunch.



Brian shows his natural leadership qualities to a slightly frisky herd of bullocks.


Come and see us again soon.


Soon after this encounter we reached the Lanivet Inn and toasted the completion of our summer walk challenge.
