More downs and ups

Bude was a good place to restock supplies. And guess what I found? Peanut better is squeeze packs and it is really good! Small things can make a person happy!

Boats in the harbor at Bude early in the morning:



You want to take a photo of the coast every five minutes, so dramatic and gorgeous is it, but you can't, so I'll try to limit them to one a day. (I hope the click to enlarge thing works.)



A fat frog (toad?) frolicking:



Truly, this is not an improvement:




This is HAT that was lost until I retraced my steps up a huge hill to find it.




Lesson learned: If you are not wearing HAT, but want to have it handy, do not stick it under the shoulder strap of your pack unless you tie the chin strap to said pack. HAT does not like to be carried that way.


This hardy Welshman—to raise money for cancer— is walking from Land's End to John O Groats, the northern tip of Scotland, some 1111 miles! He is CAMPING!




Don't know if you can make out the path near the top snaking down the far cliff:



But it was one of a few hairy descents today. The wind was ferocious and blowing across a point, as in land formation, from both directions. I was relieved to get passed that bit. And relieved, also, that no one was behind me because hurry I wouldn't and move over I couldn't! The worst is when you think you are walking to the edge of a cliff (because you are) and you cannot see a path beyond the edge, but of course, it is twisting around just before you are ready to plotz or cry.

A pleasing combination of colours:




Parking lots are ugly where ever they are, even in the town-let with the cute name of Crackington Haven.



Crackington Haven is a one inn town, rooms over a bar/restaurant, type of place. My room is nice and big—thanks, Damon—although I don't know what is with the plumbing in these parts, because again the fixtures are falling apart‚ but back to the establishment: it has, alas, gone to rack and ruin or is that wrack and ruin?

Oh, that parking lot hosts two cafes, one on either side of it. And now you know about the entire economic life of Crackington Haven.
