Bude to Boscastle. 18.21 miles, 4,583 ft of elevation and 27,796 steps.
Ignore the steps, I had my poles out almost from the start – that was one tough day. The weather however was beautiful, I have met so many lovely people today (the London couple with two young girls, Alan and Lynn and their £10 donation). It’s been a perfect Sunday stroll and truly good for the soul.
Canals in Cornwall? Apparently so. Dave and I loaded up (well I did) on a massive breakfast from the coffee pot in Bude (please go there it was excellent), and then I was on my way. Today was just one of those days. Really tough walking (just look at the stats) but so, so nice. Schooner and I took our time – I was in a t shirt most of the day and just had some great chats.
We came across the wheelbarrow of books which was just brilliant, and ’Daisy’ the dog who sounded just delightful.
I got super excited about a lunchtime beer at Crackington haven which looked delightful but was a bit traumatic in its middle class holiday home type angst. The ice cream however sorted it all out
Schooner and I carried on, the going was really tough but I felt really good. I think this walk might be making me a bit fitter and I just seemed to fit in to it like a glove.
Boscastle came at us as a surprise – approaching from the hills it was magnificent, quiet and perfect. We had a wonderful evening with Nick and Nigel who are walking tomorrow and Mum and Dad and Jill. What a Combo. Such a lovely evening.
Tomorrow is looking good, so excited about getting the boys out for a great day!!
