Here we are! The finishing photos! What an incredible journey it has been and thank you to everyone who has followed it with me! Thank you for all your support! I've seen amazing wildlife and met amazing people. There is going to be more to come, so watch this space! #CoastingIt
Great night at The Nation Museum, Cardiff, with @mcsuk. Some truly great talks from those involved. Great to be amongst such likeminded company. Thank you to all involved! And great to talk to those who I met! @Susie_Rodgers @jameshoneyborne @IoloWilliams2 @_LizzieDaly
Looking forward to attending 'a night at the museum' and @mcsuk annual general meeting in November. Cardiff, I'm coming back!

A celebratory post walk stay on Brownsea Island, in Brownsea Castle. Had a lovely walk round the island today, unfortunately I forgot my camera, so all pictures had to be taken on my phone!! @DorsetWildlife #BrownseaIsland #BrownseaWildlife
My journey has come to an end. What an incredible 6 months it has been! Unfortunately, my phone has decided to stop working! So I will wait until I can get to my photos that are on it before giving a proper finishing update, but i can confirm it is now all over! #CoastingIt
And just off of Burgh Island I completed my dolphin hatrick! A huge pod of common dolphins came in to feed and they put on quite a show! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera! So this is just a little of what I caught from my phone!

Next highlight from here takes us all the way out of Cornwall and into Devon. At Wembury I met up with @MT_SeaKayaking and had some great paddling out on the water! Paddling took over pretty much all the way from here to Hope Cove! One day of calm water and the next a lil choppy!

Spoiler alert.. I never did get to see any basking sharks! We came a couple of hours away from seeing one at the bay in Coverack! But with stopping off to watch the Risso's, we missed it!
From Lizard we walked to Coverack and finally a day I had been so longing for came! Wildlife was everywhere! From seals and chough at Lizard, to the star of the days, Risso's dolphins just outside Coverack!
Coasting It patron, Alex, walked with me from Porthleven and after the first day of walking, to Lizard Point, things took a terrific turn for the better!
The walk from St Ives down to Lands End was fairly bleak walking if I'm honest with you. There was no wildlife to be seen. Barren landscapes to be walked. After walking to Penzance, I had a week back home. Then things started to pick up!

The main logistics you may have missed out on.. I am now finishing my walk on September 1st. 6 months after starting, instead of 200 days. Due to being ahead of schedule and a lack of funds to take days off.
I hope you've all missed me! Been suspended out of this account for too long! Due to having too many accounts! I'm back and you've all missed a hell of a lot! I will endeavour to fill you in with the main parts over the course of the evening! Hope you've had a good bank holiday!
After sleeping on the beach and an early start to the day, I have made it to St Ives! Stationed myself next to the @Nat_Coastwatch station with great views out to sea! Hopefully I might see something today! @swcoastpath #CoastingIt

Plenty bird of prey action too! Still waiting to see my first ever basking shark though! Wouldn't complain with some dolphins either! Anyone out there with any expert advice on best places to see them? @swcoastpath @mcsuk #Kestrel #PeregrineFalcon #BaskingShark #Dolphin
