Personal Comments: After a welcome day off, doing nothing but walking about (I know), there was no wi-fi access last night, sorry to all our readers! We are back in town now, so here goes. Easy walking to New Polzeath via St. Enedocs church, we visited John Beteman's grave, we didn't linger! Apparently the church was buried for some years by wind blown sand until they re-discovered it, amazing. After New Polzeath we left the coast path for the fields and byways. The gorse bushes now are in full bloom, and the smell of coconut as you pass them by is heady, beautiful.
The coast path is unforgiving in its way, up and down relentlessly, no good for 2 walkers well stricken in years, but we manage. We make Port Quinn by lunchtime, there is nobody there, do they not know who we are? no. Pressing on we arrive at Port Isacc, what a lovely place this is. Let me tell you people, Benidorm, forget it, Lanzarote forget it,get yourselves down to P. Isacc (ok GB!)
Andrew the resorce manager, has again got us into a hotel for the night at Port Gaverne, just around the corner f.o.c. curtesy of the owner Graham Sylvester, commendable. A few shandies, a nice bar snack, a bath, and 9 hours sleep, fantastic.
