Started the day at our leisure after a cooked breakfast as there was no bus to catch. Cool, crisp air but clear sunshine. Wilson had a sore paw, possibly from leaping about on the beach yesterday, but seemed ok walking on it. I hadn’t slept much as I woke up at 1.30 and couldn’t get back to sleep.

The inlet that we waded across yesterday was now deep water as the tide was in.

Lovely weather again

Towards Bigbury Nathan and I had a swim, spoilt a bit by Wilson getting overexcited and barking too much.
Me trying not to fall over! This was our view of Burgh Island from the cafe where we had lunch and waited for Colin’s taxi in Bigbury.  Outstanding food! Once Colin and Wilson had gone, Nathan and I walked another mile and a half or so round to the ferry across the Avon River. Amazingly beautiful, huge, rounded bay surrounded by cliffs. Tidal inlets full of birds and reedbeds. A quite magical place. Also loads of surfers - Nathan reckoned about 60 or so.
     Then walked past a succession of lovely beaches and along a huge golf course at Thurlestone and round to Hope Cove, where Colin picked us up.  The sea along here looked like an abstract ink painting. Went for dinner at the Old Inn in Malborough, near the lovely Airbnb house. Then back to watch a film on the huge TV, and an early night as all for of us are really tired! |
