Sun 25th April - Day 9, near Boscastle to Maer (15 miles)
Crackington Haven |
Going through the small village of Crackington Haven I climbed steeply back up the cliffs, which were more vertical now and after another mile I had a very steep descent at Lower Tresmorn with the steps seeming to disappear over the cliff.

The afternoon session looked fairly easy with a gradual descent to Widemouth Bay, arriving at 14:00, it was very busy here with seaside tourists.
Bude |
After treating myself to chicken and chips, I found a Spar shop open, got some more provisions before moving on to the campsite at Maer, just a mile north of Bude.
Today had been a fairly painless but slow 15 miles.
The campsites on the next stretch are at 12 and 25 miles, so it will be a short day unless I camp on the cliff again.
One thing about providing daily updates on the web site is that it is forcing my dad to use the internet so my mother can keep an eye on me!
132 miles completed.
