The Strangles Beach

Coastal Path

It was raining on and off but I headed for a quiet bit of the coast for some walking as Sunday and Monday look to be the best days.

Yet again I attempted to photograph the sea arch at the Strangles beach – I got nearer this time but the rocks were far too wet to scramble over.

Sheltering from the rain – until the rocks started falling from the cliffs!

The Strangles and Little Strand

On the recommendation of one of the staff at Woodford Bridge I went out to a cliff top and beach walk near Crackington Haven – The Strangles and Little Strand. She recommended as she regularly went there and there were few visitors even in the hight of summer – and I can see why the path was pretty steep ending in a rope assisted scramble.

I had the beach to myself.

Lunch was on the way back up and was pretty simple – same stove as yesterday, using Dragon fuel this time, Indian Tea, Flapjack and Father’s Day Jaffa Cakes. With a great view.
