Friday partly cloudy and warm.
Due to time, weather and legs, Boogs are sampling more than sacking the SWCP.
Windy!! Felt unsafe on the cliffs
Sustained winds of 40km/hr with much larger gusts.
One featured coast walk is the one from Crantock, the starting point for us today. Includes a long walk on Perranporth beach. Avoided the military area-as often the case on a spectacular section of the coast. Spectacular and rugged! We bailed before Camp Penhale because the path was described as "heart stopping" along sheer cliffs. With the high winds we decided not to risk it.
Much of the walk we did take is along what looks like a rolling hill golf course. Carpeted in green. Then abruptly it ends and becomes lovely dunes. Very hard to walk up the dunes but delightful coming down.
Discussed wind with a surfer who was finishing up. Asked about wind direction. Best off the cliffs like today as the wind holds up the waves for a better ride. Best mid-tide.
After a fine Cornish ice cream ( the kind that is so high in fat that all the sugar is counteracted according to Bobby) in Perranporth, we then attempted to walk along the beach. Wind was so strong, blowing sand everywhere, we had to turn back.
Went back to Watergate bay for a walk along its beach, caught it as the tide was coming in.
Dinner at Jaime Oliver's Fifteen- was worth going back after trying it yesterday. Top quality place, best so far on this trip.
Todays Beer: Artist's Pint. Closest they have to Doombar. This is a little sweeter. 3.6 Boogs.
