Slept like a log, ten hours!

The weather remain wonderful, with even the gusty winds on the cliff tops being rather warm. Long sleeves and a sun hat are essential, without them you would burn very quickly.

On our walks we keep meeting interesting people. Yesterday on the tops above the Rumps we met a diary farmer from Cheshire, he had escaped from his wife and daughters, having left them ion the sands in Little Bay; he was walking to Lundy Hole and back along the coastal path; quite a walk. He couldn't bring his dog on holiday with him, because it was a working dog and needed on the farm with the staff who had remained. We met him later on in the day near Little bay. Then a little later meeting an Indian family on the tops and also meeting them again in Little Bay. They were walking back up to the car and the little girl was tired, so she sat down and refused to walk. Dad and the boys walked on, mum waited patiently.

Because of the pandemic which is very active down here, we are trying to stay away from the towns and concentrations of people, rather visiting remote areas, there is no shortage of those in this area. Above is Porth Garvin, just round the corner from Port Issac of Doc Martin fame, which will be crowded, so not a good venue to visit.

Today we plan to visit Porth Quin, another small quiet inlet and then move to Porthilly Cove, another quiet almost forgotten spot.
