The Saints Way Part 1

'In Cornish 'Forth an Syns', in English 'The Saints Way', this trail was also known as the 'Mariners Way'. The 30 mile trail links two important harbour towns, Padstow on the north coast and Fowey on the south. While there may be no evidence that this really was a route used by traders and holy travellers between Ireland, Wales and Britanny in early Christian and prehistoric times, it's a nice conceit and makes an enjoyable and different coast-to-coast route.'
Another cool iphone app, I've used called EveryTrail, which tracks where you've been, average speed and stuff like that...they got a website where people upload and share trips they've made. Me and my dad did this walk - on the hottest day of the year so far, so even though the walking wasn't hard the heat was abit of a pain (saying that in england, what!?) Gonna do the second leg, Lanivet to Fowey soon!
