WIND!
The wind was relentless today as we walked the circuitous path southwest of Padstow. The morning started out with rain and swirling wind, as we walked next to the doombar (a sandbar in the estuary). Then as we climbed out of the Padstow estuary area, the wind grew to terrific strength. We were walking like drunkards on the hill tops due to the gusts, not a place we wanted to linger despite the great views. There were a few spots where the wind gusts and our nearness to the cliffs was a worry.... but we walked on.
We had to keep our jacket hoods tight in order to keep the hats on our heads. At one moment, a wind gust took my hat off the edge, but only down 20 ft. or so. I managed to climb down and get it on the steep slope, it's a lucky hat.
We saw many surfers at Harlyn Bay... surfing in the UK? Must use extra thick wetsuits.
You've got to be an optimist to live here.
We walked about 10 miles today, tomorrow is the longest day of our walk, and sadly, our last one.
