It is time to leave our site and head to one on the North Coast. Unusually for Caravan and Motorhome Club sites, the one we are heading to is not pre-programmed in the sat-nav. The site details in the handbook warn us not to use the sat-nav but they only provide written instructions for those approaching from the east. We are approaching from the west and the route makes little sense from our direction. There is no street address for the site, so we plug in the postcode, hoping not many addresses share the same code. As a back-up I am following along on the map, although it is a little unclear exactly where the site entrance is. This, dear reader, was not a good thing to do. We trail blaze through narrow twisty lanes that are barely wider than the caravan. My map-reading skills have not deserted me and the trusty chauffeur demonstrates his caravan towing capabilities with aplomb. We arrive relatively unscathed.

With caravan ensconced in its new abode, we head out along the north coast and park at Bedruthan Steps. The Cornish coast is looking spectacular once again, with clear views and the sea twinkling in the sunshine. The sky is a bright, intense blue that contrasts with the darker colour of the sea. We agree that, despite all the wonderful all the places we’ve been in the world, it is hard to beat the scenery we’ve encountered here at home in the last couple of months. Even though it is past the middle of the day, it is too hot to walk far but we wander along the south-west coastal path for a short way, remembering when we walked this stretch, before we postponed coastal path walking in favour of grandchild visiting. We completed over 475 miles, walking from Minehead to Dartmouth and I wonder if we will finish the last 150 miles or so before we are too feeble?
