We headed back along the north coast and by the time we got to Padstow the weather was not bad at all, so we parked right on the side of the quay, much to Rosemary's horror, for a couple of hours. Enough time in fact for Rosemary to find a weird fish rucksack and a take away form Rick Steins fish and chippie. It was actually local caught squid, which we ate in the van and was delicious.
Next stop Port Isacc, which is too narrow even for us to attempt, so we parked up on the cliff car park and walked round the coastal path and down to the harbour. Very exposed and blowing a gale on the headland! We browsed the gallery, found Doc Martins cottage, had a cappuccino and retreated back up the path.
Bude looked a good place to stop the night so I looked for sites while Rosemary did a bit of shopping. Passed 6 big TV crew caravans by the beach. If they were filming rough seas it was perfect - waves crashing onto the shore. Eventually found a cheap £9 site just out of Bude for the night, with some shelter, but it was still a very rough wet night.
