3miles n.of Boscastle to Bude

Weather today: Showers, sunny

Daily Miles Covered: 12.9

Total Miles Covered: 116.8

Things of Interest: St Jennys church Crackington Haven, beautiful.

Personal Comments: Left Home farm where we stayed with Jackie and Robin Haddy www.homefarm-boscastle.co.uk she made us a super English breakfast and let us camp foc, lovely people. Andrew dropped us off at the point where he picked us up last night, and ofF we set. Crackington Haven is the first port of call during a heavy shower. We left the coast and went inland, going down a leafy lane we met Malcolm Ure a builder extrordinaire he gave us a donation for Macmillan see you in Milngavie for a pint Malc.
The coast path again is unforgiving. As we ascend more cliffs the steps up are sometimes 2ft., there must be some big people in Cornwall. At a point on the path Bude comes into view, still seems a long way off. As the showers increase the primroses heads droop even more, they will recover. I heard the first willow warbler of the year after lunch, a sign of things to come.
After Widemouth bay it becomes a lot easier the cliffs seem to lessen, and at Bude the sun comes out. So to celebrate we go for a pint, just one mind. Another day done.
