Day 3 walk

Woke at 5.45 to pouring rain. Made Julia and Kevin tea/coffee in bed. Breakfast at 8 am was superb .. Fresh strawberries and blueberries, yoghurt, grapefruit, cereals, full English, toast, tea. Set off at 9.15 but called into walking shop to buy myself a new map case. We started off in rain gear but soon took it off as sun came out. Lots of feral goats and ponies at valley of rocks. Decided on a half mile detour to The Hunters' Inn at lunchtime and it poured down while we were there. We set off again in full rain gear but the rain stopped as we set off so soon took the gear off! Very hot climb from pub, then on top of cliffs for a long way. Views spectacular. Another steep combs almost finished me off then a light drizzle but not for long. Got into Combe Martin at 5.30. Just had tea and home-made cake, now having showers, doing some washing, then out to pub for a meal. Hard day but very satisfying and enjoyable. Kevin's back doing well.
