Day 40 Friday 8th October

Today was a very strenuous day. I left the hostel at 8 a.m. and walked to Pendeen Watch, a distance of 6 miles and this took 2 hours. I then walked from Pendeen Watch to Zennor, a further 7 miles over very difficult terrain. It was muddy and rocky and up and down, and this took 4 and a half hours. The last part of the journey from Zennor to St. Ives was a bit easier and took 3 hours, a distance of 6 and a half miles. I walked a total distance of about 20 miles, but it took a long time because of the terrain. This evening I'm feeling absolutely shattered, this having been by far the most difficult walk so far.
