Started cycling from Port Isaac at 10:00am. Finished cycling at Tintagel at 11:15am.
Colin walked on and we met up at bus in Port Isaac car park. Very windy again, more difficult cycling, this time, but plenty of white horses on the sea yet again. Took plenty of photos around Tintagel Head and the castle.
Passed youth hostel by old mines. Easy walking to Trebarwith Strand, then the big climbs down and up started again, just like Hartland to Bude a few days earlier. Gull Rock very steep sided and close at Dennis Point. Good views back to Tintagel Church and on to Port Isaac and Pentire Head. Talked with lots of couples on route, all having a relaxing break and a walk. Again nobody else walking the Way while we were walking. Some of the steps in and out of the deep valleys were full of water from the previous night and day's rain. Not many signs of the recent rains, one or two puddles and a little more slippery in the cows fields. The streams seemed to be flowing as normal with the stepping stones easy to navigate. Some of the way was far more overgrown than normal, especially in restricted places, such as between hedge and farmer's fence. No steps down from Disbole Point, extremely dangerous. Gorse bushes on left, barbed wire on right.
