What a beautiful day! We were blessed with bright sunshine all day long. Mary, the B& B owner told us that the next section of our walk was her favourite one. We tend to agree. The area of the Bethruthan Steps was absolutely gorgeous. The only down-side was that we were there at high tide, which meant that we were not able to go down 140 some steep steps to the ocean floor. It is possible to walk around the stacks at low tide. Oh well - our knees will thank us. Onwards to the village of Mawgan Porth were we picked up supplies for a picnic. We walked past Watergate Beach where the surfers were having a great time. This is a 3 mile beach at low tide and is very active.
We arrived in Newquay mid-afternoon and checked into our great Cliff House B&B with plenty of time to go down the stairs for a swim. The water was pretty cool but the air was warmer so it felt great. We have just had a nice pasta meal at a local Italian restaurant and we are now off to bed for a long walk tomorrow.
