Day 5 Saturday 17th June 2017. This one again took a bit of planning. So we woke up at 0630hrs left home by 0730hrs and drove to Seaton, so Linda could complete her 38th Park Run.

As we got into Rock, I asked Linda if she still wanted to carry on with this walk, but she quite rightly stated we have driven for 2.5hrs we should do what we intended to do. Luckily the weather lifted, it was never sunny but it only slightly rained a couple of times, and the fog on a whole lifted. So as usual the hardest part about the walk (apart from the physical aspect) was arranging transport to the starting point. Luckily I knew a couple of friends, Liz and Andy, that were on Holiday in Polzeath, kindly agreed to transport us to Port Isaac from our parking and finishing point at R...
