Walk 13
The walk passes through Trewethart Farm, however Cornwall County Council has confirmed that there is no right of way through this farm. Thank you to Ian for supplying this alternative route.
From the point where the valley path from Trewartha enters Port Gaverne, the description would be:
Go right a few metres and take the road on the right at Pilchards Cafe, to follow the north side of the valley you have just walked down. Continue for about 750 metres to the end of the caravan storage field and find a path on the left, through some small trees, leading uphill towards the top right-hand corner of the field. At the top of the field take the path to the left of the large building and through the farm to the road at Tregaverne.
Right along the road for a little over 200 metres to find a footpath on the left, 100 metres before the turning off to the right. Over the stile and onwards, a little overgrown, to the coast path where you turn left and continue back into Port Gaverne.
The description then picks up the original one in the guide.

Walk 8
The footpaths around Woodford described on page 47 have changed considerably. The 'green lane' is very overgrown, and may be impassable.
An alternative is to take the footpath at right angles to it, thus continuing in an easterly direction.
On reaching the road at Woodford turn right (south) and take the next turning (west), continue along road, bending left past Shears Farm. Then turn right along the public footpath as the farm lane continues to bend round to the left. This is the footpath described in the book as taking you slightly up hill then down into the valley of Woodford Wood.
