Definitely Sennen. Taken just south of the valley half along the beach, on the way back to the top car park. Gwynver starts beyond the sticky out rocks you can see in the distance.

An absolute stunner of a Sunday afternoon in Cornwall’s magnificent far west.

Blue sky, sea, and Sennen Beach, with Cape Cornwall and the Brisons in the distance.

The ribs are going in, as it slowly transforms from a boat shaped object into a boat. The craftsmanship is incredible.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

My club’s new gig taking shape, thanks to the expert work of boat builder Peter Williams of Fowey. Watching a hand made boat come to life like this over several months is something that never fails to fascinate me.

Another gig rowing season done. It’s been a good one with some great results that I’m really proud of. Not the end we were looking for at Newquay today, but we couldn’t have given any more in some really tough conditions.

I forgot to include this one, which is mostly great for the ‘⬅️ Stile’ sign!

A good morning. For as long as he keeps coming to the UK, I’ll keep going to see him. #BobDylan

Crossing the finish line of the 44 mile Classic Quarter earlier today with my son - a special way to round off an amazing day! Ignore the blue sky… the conditions this morning were probably the worst I’ve ever raced in! Brutal.

The Falmouth Worm Charming Championships this weekend. A truly bonkers event. Surprisingly good as a spectator sport though!

Heading home tomorrow after the best weekend at World Pilot Gig Championships 2026 on the Scillies. We were DQ’d in the Vets, but came 52/132 in the Open. So proud of my crew. We got better with each race and gave absolutely everything we had. Winning our Saturday evening race was a real highlight.

@lakesstiles.bsky.social is still very active thankfully! And I was pleased to hear this morning that the Sennen kiosk is going to be repaired.

This blew my mind today. Reefs built by honeycomb worms. Zoom in and you can see every grain of sand placed with precision. Just incredible. #Cornwall

West Penwith coastal hike, day 2. St Just - St Ives. My favourite stretch of coast. Nice not to be running it for a change! But still hard work. The pasty and coffee in St Ives was monumental!
