Day 12 (April 14) Crackington Haven to Tintagel



Received a very kind offer from a reader of the blog offering a toe from one of his grandad's piglets. No, it wasn't from Del Boy Trotter!
Cathie & John travelled up from Truro & spent last evening with us, thank you both for your support. The six of us had a good meal in The Coombe Barton Inn last night but we all drank too much except for Jacqui who taxied us back to the campsite. Surprising I was the only one suffering from a hangover this morning.
Melv & I left Crackington Haven in lovely bright sunshine and soon stripped down to single tee shirts. It stayed like this until Boscastle, a delightful little harbour with a few small fishing boats. However this is where the weather took a turn for the worse. We had hail, thunder & heavy rain. Despite our waterproofs we got soaked; it even permeated our guaranteed waterproof boots. Thankfully the girls were very sympathetic when 2 drowned rats reached the campsite at Tintagel.
Tonight we are dining at a local Indian restaurant.
Do any of our readers know the name of Tonto's horse?

  1. Hi Pete, glad to see that its all going well, although I'm a little concerned that the emphasis seems to be on the nights out and not the walk...... oh well nothing changes.

    Keep it up,

    love from the Devon Crew.

  2. SCOUT !! - though I have to confess to googling the answer - my memory remains as unreliable as ever ! Heavy rain/hail here as well yesterday pm & I think it would have tested most waterproofing. Lovely morning for a walk today though.
