Botallack to Bosigran

Does anyone have the energy to walk the Cornish coastal footpath day after day? It's exhausting, and anyway far too stunning to hurry.
Last Thursday's glorious sunshine was the perfect weather. Yes, the colours really were this bright. Even the hydrangeas in the Ladies back at the Queen's Arms, Botallack, at the end.
