We are back in North Cornwall again for the week. Yesterday was very very wet and miserable but today was beautiful with blue sky and sunshine - bliss. Having lounged about in the sunshine at the holiday cottage this morning, we headed off this afternoon for a picnic and walk at Harlyn Bay near Padstow. We walked along the beach then up on to the south west coastal footpath where we tried to find a geocache that we were unable to find in April without success once again (despite our best efforts on the cliff edge!). We did however successfully find another cache later on in the afternoon.
The sea was an amazing blue - probably something to do with the blue sky and sunshine - and very clean and clear.
Small cove at Harlyn Bay
Clean and very clear sea.
Rock samphire tucked away in the cliffs.
Hmmmmmmmmmm - nice!
We walked to the headland in the distance then back on to the beach where we had to try and beat the tide and get round some rocky bits - mission accomplished (luckily in epic wellies!)
We saw many different birds today, the highlight being a kingfisher on the creek at the back of our holiday cottage and kittiwakes diving into the sea at Harlyn Bay.
We made the most of today as tomorrow is forecast to be wet and miserable all day, apparently the first real storm of autumn, we'll see! I hope it's not too bad as there is a triathlon at Harlyn tomorrow.
