Stormy weather.
I had to take two buses via Camelford to reach the mornings start at Port isaac, the fishing village was a very nice start to the trail which had a couple of steep gulleys early on, then the trail mellowed togentler slopes annd some beach walking to the Padstow ferry. by this time i had been wet and dry once which was to happen again. Looking at my map on approaching the ferry i noticed the doom bar which is apparently a famous mud bank where many a ship has floundered (is this what the popular beer (doom bar) named after.
In Padstow even the campsite was fully booked so i had to walk on to here arriving 9pm.
The big thing this day has been the ferocious wind which has whipped the sea into a frenzy, the last lot of cliffs had large nunbers of people just starring in awe at the power display. Was it a good day, YEP

 

This poor quality photo is looking down a hole in the middle of a field (sink hole) where the sea has tunneled through soft rock under ground from the cliff face then the land has collapsed, there really are some remarkable sights to see on the trail. (on ordance map as round hole just before Trevone bay).

It is clearly visible in this screen shot from google earth.
