Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir...

Last night i wild camped by the big waves of Maen dower. I walked along the South west coast path until Porth Nanven where i walked up valley for a bit from the coast path then headed back to Porth Nanven and back on the coast path. I had a look around Ballowall Barrow which i have been to a fair few times. After that i headed to Cape Cornwall still on the coast path. At Cape Cornwall i had a look around St Helen’s Oratory which i have been to many times before still i not video it before. After that it was a walk to St just to restock on food however the co op supermarket at the time was being made bigger the irony was because this is was smaller while they was building the add on. So not much choice in ST just food wise. I did get fish and chips which was fantastic only £5 and tasted great. Also got a pasty which was also fantastic. I walked though the mediæval amphitheatre in St just back towards the Library where i charged up my gear. Then i headed back to the coast path where i camped in a old quarry under Kenidjack Cliff Castle that night was 50mph gusts.
Ballowall Barrow is a prehistoric Neolithic to the Bronze Age funerary cairn (chambered tomb) The construction of the site is unique in consisting of a combination of Neolithic and Bronze age funerary
rituals.
Cape Cornwall Until the first Ordnance Survey, 200 years ago, Cape Cornwall was believed to be the most westerly point in Cornwall. The name Cape Cornwall appeared first on a maritime chart around the year 1600. The original Cornish name, Kilgodh Ust, has fallen out of use
St Helen’s Oratory - which date back as far as Roman times according to one observer, but i doubt very much. An ancient cross was discovered on the site but was sadly lost. The current cross on the chapel is one that was found nearby so it is said.
St just mediæval amphitheatre. is a large circular enclosure retained by a 2 metre high dry stone wall, with two entrances cut into the north and south-east sides. Despite the fact that it almost disappeared in the 19th century, St Just’s plain-an-gwarry survives today as a good example of a rare and distinctively Cornish monument
Kenidjack Castle is a multivallate hillfort .Two sets of triple ramparts with outer ditches have been built on the north east and south west sides. The northern ramparts are the best preserved and show the remains of stone revetting, with the inner one almost wholly built of stone. The outermost rampart of the southern set has been lost through erosion and landslip.
