Carbis Bay to St Ives and back: Thursday, 22nd December, 2016.

9:00am-ish.
View from our living room.
Prospects for the day's weather are looking good.
Fingers crossed.
Two hours later and we are under cloudy skies (boo!) on the coastal footpath above Carbis Bay.
Looking back along Carbis Bay is an excellent excuse to catch one's breath.
There are some steep inclines on this path!
Always keen to assist the Cornish pilchard fishing industry 
we stay vigilant on the pilchard-spotting front.
Nope, none about today Vic.
Howard is pleased to arrive in St Ives.
Porthminster Beach seems very quiet today.
Where are all the dog walkers?
At least the clouds are breaking up now (yay!).
The tide is in.
Nice wave action against the harbour wall.
Vicky's pilates training comes in handy for this shot.
Life's a beach and all that.
St Ives harbour under a big-big sky.
A little bit of sunlight lifts everything and everyone.
Immature seagull scoffs fish without batter around it shock!
Vicky is chuffed to find another street named after her.
Young folk in wet suits fling themselves about in the surf 
whilst olduns sit in a warm cafe and take photos of 'em.
Waves crashing against rocks - always entertaining.
About to have a canter on the beach.
The afternoon is almost over. 
Time to walk back to Carbis Bay before it gets dark.
Nearly back 'home' now.
When we get in we are pretty tired.
Although it is 1.5 miles each way to St Ives and back we have, according to Fit Bit, walked 7.5 miles!
Shows how much walking we have done around the streets and beaches of St Ives.
No wonder our feet are throbbing.
