Come Hayle And High Water - The Coastal Path from St. Ives, Cornwall to Hayle, Cornwall

Right. So, assuming you heeded my advice and didn't get sucked into the mud, you have now realised that you will have to track back up one side of the Hayle River until you can find some way across.

The scenic Hayle Towans remain reassuringly far away!

Looking back up the river you can see a church in the distance. Head for it. Who knows with a little divine assistance you might yet make it to Hayle.

Head for the church and up over the sand dunes and you will rejoin the coast path.

You get a good view of the harbour entrance as well.

For the geographically bewildered please be aware that although you can see Hayle you can't actually get at it for quite a while. First you have to go through Lelant.

	The road to Hayle ..... apparently not paved with good intentions!
	The Church of St. Uny, patron saint of people with only one of something.
	Beware of men with dimpled balls and no dress sense!

Follow the path past the church and then head down and left to get to the Lelant Saltings.

The Lelant Saltings (seen from the Hayle side) usually full of interesting things including boats, men digging for bait, mud flats, quicksand, birds and bird watchers.

Actually, while it's true that you will find bird watchers it is not true that they are interesting!
