Boscastle

Today is my last leave day – tomorrow and Monday I have work planned and meetings – so I was determined to get out and do some walking.

My plan was to walk out of the harbour, up onto the cliffs and onto the lookout.

Power Cut

I had just made my coffee and toast for breakfast when the power went out – and stayed off until about 2pm. I got on with my work and meetings on battery power and my phone’s internet but the issue was tea and coffee and eventually lunch. So out with the backpacking gear.

I then remembered I had packed a gas canister so I switched stoves.
