- This week, Trev returns to the South West Coast Path for a 10 mile stretch between Par and Mevagissey in South Cornwall, and all whilst wearing a sexy poncho!
Its been a while since I did any real coast walking, and the first walk after Christmas is always the hardest. I must admit that this walked did knock me for six - I slipped mid way and strained my a** muscle, I walked 2 miles extra as I parked in the wrong place, then, once I got the bus back to Par I had to walk another mile and a half as the bus didn't drop me anywhere near the car park.
00:00 - Urban Schmurban (Par Sands / Par Town)
02:47 - On the Coast at last! (Carlyon Bay)
04:54 - Rocking the Poncho (Charlsetown)
07:33 - Cliffside ramblings (Porthpean)
12:06 - Memorable Monolith (Black Head)
16:51 - Tired and almost Tyred (Pentewan)
21:00 - A sight for sore eyes (Mevagissey)

Years ago I organised a trip to Mevagissey for a bunch of international students of Uni. Exeter. Few days afterwards some of us had a dinner party with other friends and this student started to talk about the coast towns and sceneries. At this point someone asked him the town's name, he struggled for a few seconds then said "Megapissy". I laughed so hard my beer-filled stomach cramped for at least 10 mins.
🤣🤣 Brilliant, Tommy. Love it!
I've never succumbed to a poncho Trev, after watching this I feel my decision is vindicated!!! The hiking equivalent of golf pants 🤣🤭
Trev, those coastal ups and downs are equivalent to Alpine waking; take it easy on those knees!
That section between Portpean and Meva must be cursed. I messed one of my knees on that stretch and basically had to drag myself into Pentewan. You are correct Par to Charlestown is as dull as ditch water
nice one Trev stunning views ,and you made me smile once again keep it up me lad
You look awesome in that poncho Trev, Like a west country Rambo. 😉
Fascinating bit of golfing history there. 😉🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Ive done Minehead to Wesward Ho! so far. Im only doing it in fair weather so i can take my time and enjoy it. After watching this i cant wait for spring to get back on it although i'm not looking forward to the logistical planning of local coastal town buses now that i'm getting further away from Barnstaple train station. Bring back the branch lines.
Amazing trip
Walked that stretch 4years ago and you reminded me if the pain. The latter part is severe. Yes there is a entrance into the path of the road as you leave Pentewan but it was not easy to spot but essential you find it on that road!😮💨
Crikey, that looked like a tough walk. A real knee jangler! That first sound of the sea was lovely, and some smashing views. Too many steps for me. You suffered so I don't have to! 😊😉
Haha... thats what I'm here for lol. Was a good walk. Need to get a few more of these under my belt and I'm sure that I'll be kicking them out a bit easier. Thanks for watching!
Great to see you out of the coast again Trev, fab video, love the poncho 👍👍
Well glad you enjoyed the poncho, make the most of it, though, not sure you'll see it again lol
@@SummitOrNothing are you admitting to be a next generation weather man trev 😀
Nice one 👍 I need to do the coastal path! I often walk norrhcott to widemouth and back along the canal - one of my favourite walks!
So good to see you out and about again Trev, even more so on the SWCP. Turned into a stunning walk for you. Don't pressure yourself to *get it done* the enjoyment should be spontaneous and the achievement of completion will be all the sweeter for doing it at your own pace, not because you feel you should get content done. I can only speak for myself but, I love your videos, be they camps, walks on Dartmoor, or product reviews, and enjoy them all the more because you're enjoying them. Life isn't a race, and tomorrow isn't given, so live for today and enjoy what you do, when you do it... xxx
And it came to be, Trev could see the sea, then a tee. Too bad there was no bee. He he.
Don't give up your day job, George lol
Stairs... The knees natural enemy..
Made mine ache just seein em.. 🤣
Tell me about it!
Nice Trev.
My bro lives in Falmouth, so we end up down that way a fair bit.
Done a lovely part of that walk a few years ago, then rowed a gig up the Helford with a gig team. Ponchos are great, mate. They also make a good tarp if your stuck for shelter.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
That sounds awesome, Soggz. Nath used to do a bit if gig boating, too. Sure there's a time and a place for ponchos, this one wasn't all that to be honest, though. Cheers for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing Ues. Mine is a Dutch Amy poncho. Probably a bit more robust. Still a good item, though.👍🏾🇬🇧
Charlestown is incredible. Looks even better when tide is in. The movie the Eagle has landed was filmed there too. Great vid thank you 👌
Great trivia there, Louise, cheers. I'm sure Charlestown is fine, just didn't look as good as the pics I'd seen the night before (usually the other way around). Thanks for watching!
Hey lovely!! We know this stretch of the coast path really well as we live near St Austell. That first part is boring but from Porthpean it is full on up and down…. Thigh killer!!!!
As an aside your pack is meant to go under your poncho but yeah….. I have one and have never worn it lol!!!
It’s a tough old walk this one so well done! A lot of those little coves people row to, they’re beautiful aren’t they?! 😍
I was thinking ypu could probably kayak around to them coves and have the place to yourself. Awesome. I'm definitely not well versed in the art of wearing a poncho. Forgot you put the pack under. Cheers for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing I’d love to do that and kayak to a quiet little cove but I don’t have a kayak and I’d probably end up being washed away with the tide! 😂
@@ksgonewild 🤣🤣🤣
Stunning video mate and fantastic narrative and informative loved watching ❤
Thanks very much, glad that you enjoyed it, cheers!
As soon as you said I haven't seen a soul there was people behind you lol.
Good walk that Trev. I stayed in a campsite by Pentewan. Lovely spot. Hope the muscles aren't too sore .
I was out of action for a day or two this time. Enjoyed it though. Good to get back out!
I needed that, virtual vitamin sea fix.
Awesome. Cheers Dave!
Fantastic Trev .. I grew up in CarlyonBay . Worked for the Clay industry in the late 80's great to see all my Old Haunts
That's cool, glad to show you some familiar sites then. Cheers for watching!
Good to see you back on the coast path Trev. I’m looking forward to our jaunt around Portland next month. Can’t wait. Not been out hiking or camping since November so it’s very much needed!!
I'm looking forward to it too, Darren. Be good to catch up with you and my fellow Patreons again. Cheers for watching!
Good effort Trev thanks, was on my to do, I did Par to Foy last year great walk and challenging in places I also had the add pleasure of 45 degree driving rain soaked through, good luck
Yea, I do try and pick days when the weather is favourable. Not much filming to be done in the rain. At least that's my excuse lol
Bit of useless Trivia, I was drinking coffee today, from a cup I boughta few years back from Mevagissey 🙃🤣. Missus bought me a poncho from Aldi, Christmas I think? Tried it on, it was a bit like an old fashioned plastic table cloth, it went back 😆
Sounds like the same one mate lol
Love that Cornish coast, cheers Trev.
Yea, I do love the coastline. Cheers for watching.
Great to see you on the coastal path again. Lovely scenery and video 😊 And good that you as usual are a bit ahead of my own schedule, so I can get a look at what is in store for me. I see that I will have to brace myself for some parts of this one. The last day of this year's walking holiday will be from Mevagissey to Charlestown. Thank you for sharing 😊
Awesome, Torunn. Glad to give you a preview. You are getting on well considering you have to travel from overseas to get here! Good on you!
@@SummitOrNothing Thank you 🙂 It is like a yearly holiday 🤩 Will start in Falmouth some time in June.
Lovely video many thanks, my favourite walk is from Tintagel to Boscastle
Yea, that was a good one, cheers!
"...taken in the views" 😎👍
😀
Great walk and video. Didn't see many places to camp along there though
There was a little wood where I stopped for lunch may have been good for a hammock, but, no, not the best stretch for a camp.
Excellent video👍😂
Thanks Pete
Go on trev get grinding them miles 💪
Slowly but surely. Step it up this year! Cheers for watching.
Well me being a northerner, I've never seen much of the south coast, went to portland bill lighthouse once, but can't remember much, so it's nice to see somewhere new in your video's
I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get to see the sea. I do love it, and the coast path is the closest thing we have to mountains down here, great way to build up the stamina. Thanks for watching!
A damn good stank Trev , hashed from The ship Inn Pentewan last Sunday
Nice, Alan. Looked a decent pub!
Bloody ponchos!
🤣🤣
Sweet views m8
Cheers Peter!
1st non patreon 👏😎
Boom!
Did my first coastal walking last year (at Linda's insistence) and admit I am converted. Each of your videos is bedding that decision farther, despite all the ups and downs. Not sure I'm up for wearing a poncho though.
Yes, I do love the coast walking, Roger. Good way for us southerners to build up stamina for the mountains too. When the wind picks up though, you're likely to take off in a poncho.
Great to see you back on the path . What do u app do u use to mark off the sections u have completed please
Cheers Darren. I dont have an app for that, i just keep track and the image shown i have made myself using snipping tool
Lol. Mark Twain, golf, a good walk, spoiled.
🤣🤣
Gorgeous area, looks a bit like West Cork in Ireland. What tripod did you use for the Sony videocamera?
It's a gorgeous bit of coastline. I used a small manfrotto tripod. It's decent until the wind gets up.
@@SummitOrNothing Cheers for that! i am thinking about using my Sony AX 700 but don't want to "run and gun" when out hiking. I thought also maybe carrying it clippe to a Peak Designs clip on the shoulder strap.
You join from Pentewan beach campsite to meva
Where's the most dodgy/dangerous place you stepped on the SWCP so far?
You missed the sign, it was just closed to the entrance of the campsite
That doesn't surprise me 🤣
Say, is that a real poncho? I mean, is it a Mexican poncho or a Sears poncho? No fooling.
I'd say not. Was almost a bin liner with a hood
Watch the film The Lighthouse Trev? Proper dark but very good I thought
I've seen it, Jim. Loved it.
You got me going with that memorial stone. I had to look it up. It is for A. L. Rowse, CH (Companion of Honour). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._L._Rowse. I really need to get out more.
