Today was another gorgeously sunny day. Colin stayed at the Airbnb nursing his sore ankles and helping Wilson who has cut his paw and is feeling very sorry for himself.

| Leaving Hope Cove behind |
 |
| Some precipitous drops around here. Also very red earth. |
Master of all he surveys…
Appreciating my sticks.
 |
| A mix of gorse bushes and ferns all along here |
 |
| Soar Mill Cove, halfway between Hope Cove and Bolt Head |
 |
| We were at about the halfway point here |
 |
| Turquoise water |
Round about here we saw a bird of prey (maybe a kestrel) swoop down beside a hedge and emerge with a rodent in its claws. Nature in action!
 |
| Starehole Bay, just around Bolt Head |
Further along there were some great rocky bits like this one. Nathan ran ahead at this point like an escaped lunatic. He was the Running Man on the far hillside, followed by a cloud of dust.
Then Salcombe came within sight!
Colin was waiting for us there with the car. We had a pleasant wander around the town and a pasty etc.

| Colin’s trousers not pink/mustard enough |
I had a swim by the Winking Prawn and then it was time for Nathan to catch his bus to Totnes, where he’s getting a train back to London. Colin and I went back to feed Wilson and then popped back out to Hope Cove for a wee drinkie overlooking the sunset. Bootiful!
Driving back in the morning while the Queen's funeral is on. Missing a National Moment but at least there won't be much traffic.
(Postscript: we got home in 3 hours 40!)
