Cadgwith to Lynton

Raining in Cadgwith
Raining in Cadgwith

We swap locations today, leaving Cadgwith which we have grown fond of with it great view of the village roof tops. We were out of the hut early, 0930, and on our way Tom Tom said we would be there just after 1300 so we had an hour in hand.

The weather was variable with rain following sun, and very windy. We decided to take the Atlantic highway (A39) as it would be more scenic and we had time to spare. We stopped at Widemouth bay for lunch where there was lots of surfing going on. The wind was blowing hard straight up the beach so we did not get out for a walk. We did see some birds we did not recognise stiff wings like Fulmars, with black wings and bodies and a white under side. They were surfing the wind between the waves.

We drove back to the A39 via Bude, then were on familiar roads all the way to Lynton as we hjave spent various holidays along this part of the coast. We got to Lynton at 1400 and found the new hut without too much trouble. Went down the famous funicular to Lynmouth to have a look round and suss things out, then went back to the hut for Pasta and garlic bread.
