Day 9: Trelill to Boscastle

Back on the South West Mud Path today. A very challenging day of ups and downs and walking through mud. 

• Date: 29 March 2024
• Start: Trelill
• End: Boscastle
• Miles: 16.5
• Total miles: 115.7
• Accommodation: Trebyla Farm Camping

It was a very cold night last night so I didn’t manage to sleep that much, but I woke up early to get going at 7am knowing this would be a long day. 

I spent a couple of miles on the road to rejoin the South West Coast Path, which was covered in mud, making progress slow. I also joined right at the point I had to navigate three huge valleys. 

I took a detour into the town of Tintagel to get some food, having a Cornish pasty for the first time on the walk. 

After fuelling up, I headed back onto the cliffs with more ups and downs, and mud, before arriving in the charming Boscastle. 

I had one final climb for another three miles before reaching camp for the night. The sun came out and it was rather beautiful. 

I made it to camp, popped the tent up, watched the sunset, then had some baked beans and bread. 

Tomorrow I head to Bude, which is one of the most challenging day’s of walking for the entire trek. Luckily, it’s meant to be a sunny day!
