When? Sunday 28th September 2008
Needed to "fill a gap" along the coast route, so we met at Portreath (don't park in the beach car park next time - too expensive!) and headed up the coast towards Porthtowan. Some grand views of Portreath and westwards along the coast from the landmark, but had to retreat to the road again as part of the coast path had collapsed and was closed off. At the small car park near the end of the road we were able to re-join the coast path, then followed the fence surrounding the old airfield, through old mine workings, to the headland above Porthtowan. 
Stopped for lunch there, then headed inland to follow the lanes to Cambrose. Along the way we passed a big chicken farm where one of the young turkeys was trying in vain to make an escape (and ooh the smell!).
From Cambrose we joined the old mineral tramway which took us all the way back tp Portreath - busy with families making the most of a warm sunny Sunday afternoon. A good walk for when there has been a lot of rain - fairly dry underfoot.
About 5 miles.
