You have chosen to register for part of The Miner’s Route: North Coast and West Penwith - this section runs from Newquay to Porthcurno. This beautiful 68 mile stretch of rugged Atlantic coastline covers some of the major heritage mining sites, including Wheal Coates at St Agnes and what is known as the ‘Tin Coast’ in West Penwith. Also this route takes in some major Cornish landmarks like Perranporth beach, Godrevy Lighthouse, the 3-mile stretch of golden sands on Gwithian Towans beach, St Ives and wrapping around Land’s End to end near to the famous Minack Theatre at Porthcurno. 

There is a one off registration fee of £25.00.

You then have the opportunity to raise funds for the Truro Samaritans branch who are organising the walk or a local charity of your choice. The Truro branch of the Samaritans is responding to over 20,000 calls for help each year via phone and email.  There is also significant activity to raise awareness of the charity to hundreds of thousands of people across Cornwall through proactive awareness and preventative work within our community. We receive no government funding, so must raise significant funds each year to keep doing this vital work. Whilst there is no official minimum target for fundraising, we're hoping each walker can raise over £100 in order to reach our goals.

We will work with you to find a section of this route which is suitable for you. More details will follow as we finalise this event and you will be kept fully informed once you register.  An organiser will contact you using your email address given on registration.

Shortly after registering, you will receive an email from the Truro team asking how much of the route you would be able to walk. Once we have a good number registered for each route we will allocate individuals to the walks in groups of at least 3. The routes range from 5 miles to 12 miles in length with some in between.
