Date: 20180529<\/p>\n

Time:\u00a09:25 – 14:05<\/p>\n

Distance: 16.4 km<\/p>\n

Stay:\u00a0The Old School Hotel, Port Isaac<\/p>\n

Walk<\/h4>\n

\"\"Before I started the official walk today, I first went into Tintagel. The old post office is mentioned everywhere and the church. There are also the King Arthur’s Great Halls. Everything in Tintagel has a connection with King Arthur (even if only in the name). You would almost imagine yourself in the Middle Ages, were it not that it is all very touristy.
\nAt the old post office, which is indeed a very nice and old building, they were preparing for a trade fair.
\n\"\"Then on to the church, which lies on top of the cliffs, a little away from the village. Of course with associated cemetery. There is a special old font in the church. After having taken the necessary pictures, I lit a candle so that the rest of my trip will also go smoothly…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Time to pick up the Coast Path again. I had skipped a piece of today’s route. But that was the piece that ran past Tintagel Castle and I already did that yesterday.<\/p>\n

For today, a tough route is predicted. Many ups and downs so to speak. In the meantime I have learned how I can best descend and climb so that I do not have problems with my left knee, but in such a way that I do not overload my right knee and get problems with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Almost at the beginning I pass an abandoned slate quarry. I understand that they have got slate here, what I do not understand is why they have left one column. On the other hand, that looks pretty cool now.<\/p>\n

As can be seen from the elevation profile below, it went almost completely down to sea level several times and then up again. Especially Dennis Point was a ‘nice’, about 90 meters up and then immediately down again.
\n\"\"Obviously steep as I have come to expect from the Coast Path. This was immediately after Trebarwith Strand, the last civilization before the end point of today. Unfortunately, this was a bit too early for a break, I had just started walking.
\nEven after Dennis Point, there were some nice climbs and steep descends (for example to Ranie Point, the highest point today). This is the most rugged part of the Coast Path.<\/p>\n

\"\"After all the ups and downs I finally arrived in Port Gaverne, a hamlet just next to Port Isaac. However, the height differences were not done yet. I had one last climb to get to Port Isaac and one descent.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the end I was very early done today. Partly because I left on time, but also because the route today was not very long. Time for a pint at the Golden Lion.<\/p>\n

Weather<\/h4>\n

\"\"Rain was predicted later in the day. Indeed, official weather warnings were in force regarding thunderstorms and flooding. But these are normally very local and the chance that you are affected is not that big.
\nFortunately I did not suffer from this. Today it was mainly cloudy and occasionally sunny. actually good walking weather. The temperature was a bit higher, it was pretty warm.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
