Port Quinn to Treyarnon

These are the days you live for. Clear, blue skies; a brisk, cool breeze; golden, sandy beaches; and bacon sandwiches.

We had a lot of distance to cover today, around 18 miles, so we set of at 7am. Walking while the sun rose behind us. We passed round the headland at Rump’s Point and could see the beach at Polzeath ahead of us. After crossing the beach we stopped at cafe for a bacon roll.

Then we continued on to catch the ferry from Rock to Padstow. Luckily for us the low tide meant we could pick up the ferry  1/2 mile sooner, and it dropped us off 1/4 mile up the path. We continued round the easy, going path until Trevon, where we stopped for lunch.

After lunch we continued, along much of the same coastline, crossing a couple of beaches, before reaching the youth hostel.

Words can’t do it justice, but it was an absolutely stunning day.
