With barely 24hours notice I was asked to lead a Naturetrek tour in my home county of Cornwall due to the assigned leader contracting Covid.
Fortunately I was familiar with all of the places on the itinerary and was excited to show our clients some of the best wildlife & flora in the UK.
Here is a set of photos from each day so that my new found friends can view and enjoy.
Day 2. Lizard Point to Kynance Cove.
