DAY 9 - FOWEY TO DOWNDERRY
Our hike for this stretch of the coast promised to be strenuous for the first leg and did not disappoint. We started off catching a Ferry across the Estuary to Polruan and hiked up along the cliffs. It was a particularly beautiful and more remote stretch of the coast. Our first destination for the day was Polperro, a picturesque little Cornish village tucked away in a small harbor. To get there however, we had to hike up and down a seemingly never ending series of crevasses in the cliffs. The last 2 miles before Polperro seemed like they would never end. Best cardio workout yet! We finally arrived in Polperro for a late lunch starting with a cold ice cream cone and finishing with Cornish Pasties and Scones from a little bakery. Then, back up the coast and heading to Looe, where we would end our walk for today and taxi the rest of the way to Downderry.
