	Lansallos Polruan Frogmore
		The last time we walked from Lansallos to Polruan with the Sunday group of Ramblers was almost four years ago so time really does fly when you are having fun.
		I well recall a walk earlier in the year when we walked from Lansallos east along the coast to Polperro, steep, it most certainly was, and even the books of the SWW grade that section as strenuous.
		On that walk we followed the road uphill to a T junction and then left, on the road to and from Polruan, all the way back to Frogmore, about 2.5 km of road walking most of it along the road very busy in the summer, the only road into Polruan in fact.
