Walking the Cornish Coast Path – isn’t it all steep hills and very chilly at this time of year?

In this episode, recorded while Liskeard was in Tier 3 and the day before lockdown,  Susie,  Tiggy and Ann resort to recording their podcast via zoom and interview Carol Beaver, an experienced coast path walker with her little dog, Mica.

Everyone knows that Cornwall has some steep and rocky coastal sections and so the coast path at first sight might not appeal to all newly retired people.  However, it is definitely worth looking into more closely as a possible adventure hobby.    Carol explains how, for people living in South East Cornwall, it is possible to start quite gently since much of the south coast is has quite gentle undulations and there are a lot of fairly short circular walks with spectacular coastal views, great cafes and easy car parking to get you started. She also explains it is a great hobby for this time of year provided you have a good pair of walking boots and the right sort of jacket.

Apologies in advance for any noise interference.  Certainly Geoff,  Ann’s husband, was both stoking the wood burner and taking down Christmas decorations around her while they were recording.  Oh well …….
