Day 6 Trevone to Port Gaverne

Oh boy, today was a hot one, anything from 27 degrees to 500 degrees depending on who you speak to. In reality I think it was around 29 degrees, now for the UK that it hot and when you are walking up and down enormous cliff paths it’s even hotter. The scenery was still amazing and we just took lots of breaks, Coffee in Padstow, then we took the Padstow ferry across the estuary. The other option would have been to swim and it is a long way across that estuary. We stopped for a swim in Daymer Bay, well John swam and I paddled (I don’t like the big waves). We stopped for lunch at Pentireglaze, a national trust property with picnic tables and we could pick up extra drinking water ( we needed it). We passed through Port Quin, where we stopped to sit in the shade by the harbour, and Port Isaac (Doc Martin country). It was then a short ( up a very steep hill) walk to our accommodation for tonight, Port Gaverne hotel. It’s a great place right across the road from the harbour, where we went for a swim, and there is a bath ( that was so welcome tonight).
PS John says it is too hot to hike. Everyone else is on the beach or in the sea.Read more
