Description:
Changed campsite to Tintagel. Started cycling via A39 at 11:00, finished at 12:30, rain for the second half of the ride. Started walking at 12:45. Lunch 2:00 at High Cliff and started raining soon after for the rest of the walk (stopped raining at 21:30). Commented to Colin that grass was shorter on cliff side of the fence, we could not understand. Two peaks later I noticed two horses on the side of the cliff, grazing at an angle of 30ºC approx. Very windy white horses on sea. Boscastle extremely picturesque, no photos, too wet. Harbour and village interesting. Met a couple of groups walking in the opposite direction. Very dark rocks (shale/slate) with seams of quartz. Rocky valley very picturesque just before Tintagel. No photos too wet, an excellent walk for a sunny day. Finished walking at 17:45 collected bikes at 21:15, still raining.
