Padstow to Porthcothan
Kevin's modified full English turned out to be the works with 3, yes 3, pieces of fried bread! Despite eating all that he still managed to be ready to leave at 7:45am. We got just outside the town before he realised he did not have his hat and had to go back for it. The sun was up and quite warm with few clouds so he dare not do without it. We walked across part of The Doom Bar, a dangerous sand bank from which Kevin's favourite beer gets its name. The walking was much easier today, though a bit longer than yesterday should have been. Again the views were spectacular and the sea crystal clear. We had a coffee in Trevone and ate our sandwiches by the lighthouse ay Trevose Head. When we got to our B&B at Porthcothan Bay, the proprietor said she had made a mistake with my booking and had let my room to someone else! She said because I booked last year the computer forgot to carry the booking over from last year. She was very apologetic and offered me 3 options: I could sleep in the room she normally uses for breakfasts; sleep in the campervan on the drive or they would find me a B&B in a nearby town (without Julia and Kevin). I opted for the dining room!
