  1. I would after looking and planning a bit in a hurry - we are lieving for cornwall this comming
    saturday - and i would like to have opinions about this route-alternatives, and would like to know
    if they are very "hillary or cliffery": and we also want to know how far we can walk during an
    ordenary walkingdistance for a day, for instanse from penzance and to ...... in a day? walking for
    about 4 -6 hours?

    alternative1:

    take the train to penzance - stay there till the next day, and bus to lizard - and passing the area
    and along that coast, then to penzance and over to st.ives - then to truro and back to heathrow and
    the reallyties at work.

    alternative 2: start from falmouth walk to lizard - st. michaels mount area - have a look at helston
    to penzance and the st.ives up to hayle (???) and to truro and back

    altern 3: from looe to falmouth or vice versa take bus to lizard and walk towards penzance and
    follow alternative one - the rest of the time.

    what is a MUST to see, and is it better to have to places to live and travel out from there on dayly
    trips? can we walk from falmouth to lizard in one day? can we walk from penzance to st. ives in one
    day? from lizard to st.michals mount in one day? we will walk for 5-6 days. We will be very happy
    for an answer here.

    best regard from ingrid in norway

    Note the coast is very up and down and in and out, its probably harder than you think.

    Walking as an easy pace all day with a couple of hours for lunch we do Lizard point to Gunwaloe
    (Halzephron Inn) and return in a day. We also do Porthcurno, round Lands End to Sennan and back in a
    day. Mousehole(Ship) to Lamorna (L.Wink) & return (south of Penzance) is a very easy day. Lizard
    Point to Coverack (east) takes a day (return).

    (The Penzance area does not make very nice walking).

    You could walk to Penzance from Lizard, (take a bus once you get near Penzance, maybe even from
    Porthleven?), then the other side of Penzance go from Mousehole west to Lands End and on to Sennan.

    at sealevel at low tide, round the back at high tide. Note the green serpentine rock.
    "fellwalk.co.ukpict166.htm" Sennan has an old winding house that sells nice things
    for presents "fellwalk.co.ukpict114.htm" Logan Rock has good, er, rocks!
    "fellwalk.co.ukpict115.htm" Lizard is flat topped and steep cliff sided with great
