Day 4 - Port Isaac to Padstow - 29 May 17

Day 4 in our adventures, really should be leg 4 but hey! This one took a lot of planning and lots of alterations. The original intention was to walk this on Sunday 28th May but with heavy storms around and all weather apps indicating that the Monday was the driest day we changed the date. So at 7am we left Yeovil and the weather was awful, it rarely stopped raining often with heavy fog.
