After the rain last night we awoke to a lovely sunny morning. After breakfast outside we set off for the Cornish north coast. Arrived in Padstow at lunch time but could not find anywhere to park. It was heaving!
So next stop was Rock on the other side of the estuary, the home to countless millionaires and a playground for young royals apparently. The specials board at Mariners restaurant included rib of beef for two, with trimmings, for £90. We found a more modest offering at £11 for roast Sirloin of beef, or roast pork, with trimmings. Huge portions no room for pudding.The alternative lunch was a ferry across the estuary to Padstow for Rick Steins fish and chips, but not enough time on the parking ticket.
We went on to Polzeath beach where the surfers were making the most of some big waves. Finally we made our way to a CC site at Camelford, for one or two nights, to sit out a forecast day of heavy rain. No WiFi or 3g, just wet campers but quite cheap.
