Newquay

After 14 dry and sunny days the forecasters were predicting a period of wind and rain so we decided it was time to turn around, but not until after a flying visit to Newquay. We parked near the front with good views over the sea and had a traditional fish and chip lunch overlooking the beach. The wind was starting to pick up and we found a rather windswept 'night halt' on the Hedre holiday park just outside Newquay. As they wanted to charge £4.95 for electricity we decided to be 'unplugged'. It was a very blustery night and we had our first rain for 15 days. Mike and Margaret decided they would head straight back and we would call on Barbara, as promised, after another night further up the coast.
