We left our holiday home by 9.15 this morning and decided to make a slight detour and visit a favourite beach in North Cornwall, Harlyn Bay near Padstow. It was surprisingly quiet on the roads, especially as it's a bank holiday weekend and even the car park at Harlyn was practically empty. On the beach there was quite drastic evidence of the winter storms, with landslides, damage to the slope and steps onto the beach and a wall destroyed from a garden above the beach.

We had a walk along the beach to the rocks and had a look around a few rock pools, the sea was very calm, a bit of a contrast to the last time we visited when the seas were very choppy and rough.
Rock pooling.
There were masses of mussels on the rocks.
Fab!
After a bit of lunch we had an easy drive home on empty roads, I think we chose the right time to travel.
All week we were hoping to photograph a good sunset from the garden, we took a few on a couple of evenings, but the splendid sunset never did happen, this was as good as it got - can't complain.
Tuesday
Thursday.
And so the sun sets on another holiday, a new area explored, 34 miles walked, 45 geocaches found and a great time had.
