Would have been a long wait for the next train or a bit of an uphill walk to Liskeard!

Or a walk along the flat valley to St Keyne Wishing Well Halt - about a mile and three quarters, which you could have completed before the next train to Looe (that's assuming that you were on your way down when you called at Coombe

I have sort of done that in the past
