I can offer you 3 nights accommodation in Porthleven, Wed 5th to Sat 8th August, plus food for that time. I can’t walk with you, due to mobility problems but, interestingly, when Satish was doing his walk in the 60′s my parents, brother and I entertained him to dinner when I lived in Enfield Middx. Good luck

Thoroughly enjoying reading your journal so far. Has really lightened up my day. Am really pleased that people are starting to understand what you are trying to achieve. Keep it up and hope to catch up at the end of your walk.
Look forward to the next installment.
