Blown away! A coastal walk as Storm Arwen approaches Mawgan Porth near Newquay, Cornwall

Due to a copyright claim, we have had to remove our titles and music, both at the beginning and end of this video. Apologies if it makes the video appear a bit clunky at the beginning.

In this video we take a walk near Newquay starting from Trevarrian, a village on the busy Padstow to Newquay road. Our destination is the popular resort of Mawgan Porth, a couple of miles along the South West Coast path. It is a few hours before Storm Arwen will hit the UK and the winds build throughout the afternoon.

Reaching Mawgan Porth was challenging with strong, northerly winds beating us against the cliff. Once we arrived, the tide was out and we had a fantastic beach to explore. The northerly wind was whipping up the sand and creating ripples in the standing water on the beach. It was difficult to stand up, let alone talk to camera!

Our video takes a look at the development of Mawgan Porth, with a couple of older photographs for reference, and it is possible to track the changes over time. We also explore some local stories gathered by the WI, involving a skeleton, a shipwreck and crazy golf!


The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII

How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.

We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
