And what a day to pick for a walk along a stretch of the Cornish Coast! Bright sunshine but not too hot, blue skies, calm conditions and good company. It doesn't get any better than this. Actually it could because Mrs P wasn't able to be there.
Just under 7 miles, starting at Daymer Bay and finishing on Rumps Point, before pretty much tracing our outward route back. Another one to do again.
 |
| The route - out and back with the sea to the side almost all the way. A few ups and downs but nothing too strenuous. |
 |
| The bay at Polzeath with some good surf. |
 |
| Surfers on their way for a, mmmm, surf. David Cameron body-boards down here regularly but we didn't see him today. Unless, of course, he was already in the water so we missed him. |
 |
| Marking the 'Tomb of the unknown Sand Castler' lost with his bucket in 2014. |
 |
| A Little Egret reflecting on the fishy side of life. A few years ago we'd have been jumping up and down with delight over the novelty of seeing one but now they are quite common. |
The sands at Polzeath cover a much bigger area than might seem at first sight from the road (way to the left).
 |
| There were a lot of kestrels hovering above us. This one stayed for a while but wasn't kind enough to get into the sun so I could get a decent view of its body. But I forgave it for the enjoyment of watching it at such close quarters. |
 |
| A crabbing boat doing a bit of, mmm, crabbing. Or lobstering, I suppose. |
 |
| Sun, sea, sand and clouds - looking due west-ish. |
 |
| I'm sure that the one on the right is David Cameron and the one on the left is Jeremy Corbyn. A bit of boy bonding with body boards? And the one in the background, looking out of his depth, must be Boris Johnson. |
 |
| One man and his dog. |
