SWCP: Clovelly to Hartland Quay

 

Strava behaved itself

The scenery and views perked up today. Left the wonderful B&B and its very friendly hosts at around 9 and arrived at about 3. My foot didn’t trouble me too much today. Also, I didn’t have the rucksack to carry, which made a huge difference. I lost my way near Hartland Point and ended up having to climb over a barbed wire fence. Got stung a bit on the legs (nettles) in the course of this exploit. It only rained for 15 minutes or so, which was lucky as I didn’t have a coat with me. Calculated risk. Tomorrow’s going to be rainy but I can sit smugly/snugly inside as it’s a day of work.

Air traffic control tower at Hartland Point,
the most north-westerly bit of Devon


Strange triangular rock formation, called Blackchurch Rock

Lots of riotous wildflowers along the path today

Mint - not sure how it got here

Wild snapdragons

The highlight of the day were the dramatic rocks of Hartland Quay. Amazing formations.





The hotel. I’m in a little single room in the attic.
