The South West Coast Path celebrates its 40th birthday this year. Walkers gathered to wish it well today at Land's End.
Over the last month people have been walking in relay from the south and north coasts to celebrate the anniversary. Today they met at the path's most westerly point.
Bob Cruwys reports:
A man who's dancing 1,400 miles across Britain is back on the road after recovering from being run over by a drink-driver.
Ben Hammond still bears the scars, but was determined to complete his journey for Burmese refugees.
Wesley Smith caught up with him:

From @dancebritain on Twitter:
A fundraiser who was hit by a car as he danced his was from John O'Groats to Lands End will restart his attempt this morning.
Ben Hammond, a teacher and lecturer, was run over last month just 200 miles from the finish.
Having already danced almost 1000 miles through Scotland, England and Wales, Ben will set off from the site of the accident near Wells at 10am. He says he is focused on finally making it safely to the end, and hopes to complete the challenge on Saturday 1st December.
Jenefer Lowe from the Cornwall Langauge Office says move to get rid off dual language sign at Land's End is disappointing and a step backwards.
A row has broken out after a dual language sign on the main entrance to Land's End, removed the Cornish name for the attraction.
The Cornish language organisation, funded by Cornwall Council said it was a lost opportunity to promote the Cornish identity to a worldwide television audience, seeing as the torch relay started from Land's End.
Land's End said the re-painting of the sign was part of an ongoing refurbishment programme and had nothing to do with the torch relay event. It said "Cornish is displayed prominently as well as other languages on another sign within the attraction".
