Treyarnon Bay to Newquay

After a more leisurely wake up time and a bacon roll we left the YHA and headed for Newquay. All the YHAs have individual personalities, this one is like a surf shack and is right on the beach.

It was beautifully sunny again today but quite windy. There was very little ascent as we traversed around multiple small headlands and crossed above stunning golden beaches. 

We stopped for an explore at Bedruthan steps which is a stunning beach with many sea stacks and feels like it should be in a set on Game of Thrones.

We continued to Mawgan Porth for lunch, being my usual cheapskate self I chose the pulled pork loaded chips sharing plate thinking this would be the best money for food quantity option. I wasn't wrong but I nearly made Olly sick as he desperately tried to finish both his and my lunch.

Considerably heavier we continued around the headlands and watched planes pass overhead to land at Newquay airport. After quite a short day we made it to our hostel in Newquay.

The highlight of today was spotting this baby slow-worm crossing the path. I had a job getting a photo as it was actually pretty fast. Olly had never seen a live slow-worm before and he had seen his first dead one only an hour previously.

Caterpillar of the day spotted by Olly (actually seen yesterday), a rare visitor from the continent.
