Update: Friday, May 8....
Yesterday, we could not get internet access, so I'll update the story since Barnstaple.

Thursday, May 7
We walked around Barnstaple, saw the church, castle mount, museum and shops until it was time for our afternoon bus to Westward Ho!, a 40 minute ride.
Westward Ho! was named after a book, it is located right on a long beach, where the tide goes in and out 1/3 of a mile or more.
At low tide, relics of human life from 10,000 years ago can be seen.

Misty drizzle started when we arrived in the small town.
We stayed at the Culloden House high on the hill with a wide view of the coast.
Built in 1865, it's now a B&B.
Had a tasty dinner at The Potwallopers restaurant.

Friday, May 8
A very windy and chilly day.
My legs starting hurting quickly walking down into town to buy our lunches.
Made it 1.5 miles before the legs hurt too much... impossible to predict, a real bummer.
The legs were the problem, not the stiff headwind or rain squalls, we decided to find a plan B.
We walked inland for a couple of miles and found small town and a bus stop.
The bus arrived and hour and a half later, in the mean time, we ate lunch in the church yard.

We are staying in Clovelly tonight, in an old hotel down on the water.
A private town, with houses at least 500 years old, very quaint and steep down to the ocean.
Tomorrow, we need a plan A and a plan B, depending on how my legs do.
