| Great advice where to park by DG on these narrow hedge lined roads. Wheat field waiting for the combine. Useful tractor tramlines in lieu of f'path. 4 hr walk with L out and back along the coast to Nare Head (site of WWII decoy lights to attract the bombers). Back via Carne Beacon and then at low tide the geologically exciting Carne & Pendower Beaches - Extraodinary sea erosion of hollows in the folded limestone and base slates on top of which there is a unconfomity where sits raised beach of a sandy pebble matrix. There are also quartzite boulders containing, for the every lucky (not us) the highly rare trilobite fossils (iconic wood lice look-alikes). Should you find one of these the request is to take it to a science museum for their study. How you get the boulder there which it is probably embedded in they don't say!(as no hammering allowed). | Chris Pearson | 07/08/2023 |

| Parked by main road on broad grass verge adjacent to junction at SW 88589 37869. Walked along road for c50m to stile and public footpath. Once over stile I ignored the footpath and walked round field hedge to high point c15m SE of square concrete structure. Another simple one! | David Gradwell | 08/04/2016 |
| Parked in Porthcurnick Beach car park (pay & display) and took the path down to the Hidden Hut beach cafe. From there took coast path north, abandoning it for lane north of Porthbean Beach as too muddy. Then took lane and RoWs to summit area. Returned south on lane to cafe and back to car. With ALT, OJT, TST and LB to lane then solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 04/04/2016 |

| Short walk from road at public footpath access along field boundary but far from easy due to brown dry scratchy crop. | ijpowell | 21/07/2014 |
