It was Linda's turn to plan today.
We breakfasted at home then drove to Rames head. The road is quite narrow and winding over the last few miles. From the car park we walked down then up the long climb to the church at the headland.
We passed some horses on the the way, including this young foal. Meg was interested but did not bark or disturb the horses in any way. The climb didn't seem to slow Meg down at all, although we weren't quite as fast.
It seemed strange that the ancient church had a big concrete slab added on the seaward side. This would have been a WWII gun enplacement. The views of the sea and the cliff are stunning.
We walked back down and and up again to the car park, passing the horses again.
We then drove to Whitsand Bay where we had lunch at the Cliff top cafe. The coffee was excellent and we shared a bacon, brie and salad sandwhich. Linda kept her bacon for Meg.
Then we walked down to the beach. I say "walked" - it is very steep and quite a challenge just to get down. We were on the beach at two hours before low tide - the beach is not existant at high tide. We did our usual stroll along the beach while Meg sprinted backwards and forward probably covering more than 10 miles. We encountered a couple with a lovely Spinose dog - an Italian breed. It just trotted along beside the owners - the exact opposite of Meg.
Then it was the long slow arduous climb back up the cliff. Meg was not much help - she pulled hard on the way down (the last thing you want) but did not give much assisstance on the way back up. We finaley reached the Cliff Top Cafe and treated ourselves to a couple of Magnum Classics.
Then in the car, and a short drive to Cawsand and Kingsand where we had a pint overlooking the beach and the sea it the Devon Bar. Then we walked up to the Rising Sun where Linda had booked a table. The food was good bit not as posh as the night before in the Manor hotel in Rilla Mill, although the prices were similar. Table service however was far faster.
Then we drove back home. The drive took 65 minutes.
