Our final day of walking this session and the sun was still shining. The only dark cloud was Margaret's back that was still giving her problems.
First we had to descend the steep hill into Portwrinkle itself that we hadn't had the energy to see yesterday.

Portwrinkle was a bigger place than I had expected it to be with plenty of parking spaces for visitors. The path then crossed a golf course on it;s way to Tregantle Fort. Fiona had warned us that the red flags were flying today and we would be unable to take the path through the fort area. Luckily the alternative path alongside the road was a slightly less undulating experience.

We managed to find a cafe at Whitsand Bay holiday centre where there are many holiday chalets. We didn't linger too long as sitting was still uncomfortable for Margaret so we pressed on to Rame Head. I was now on familiar territory as I had walked all the next part of the walk before so I didn't climb Rame Head to see the chapel on the top, been there done that, although Margaret did. You just can't stop these 'A' walkers!
Next the neighbouring villages of Cawsand and Kingsand where I had my last ice cream of the holiday.
Seen on a wall between the two villages. Plastic waste is becoming a big problem.
All that remained now was a stroll through Mount Edgecombe Country Park, a cup of tea in the Orangery and a trip on the Cremyll Ferry taking us out of Cornwall and into Devon.

Another mile to find our hotel for the night and then we could flake out on the bed, order a taxi to the station tomorrow and tick Cornwall off the list.
Margaret had walked over 155 miles and I had walked about 105 miles. Somerset, North Devon and Cornwall done, only South Devon and Dorset to go next year!
