Day 32 – Holywell Bay to Bedruthan Steps 23.4.13

A prompt start on a bright morning, and it’s over the dunes (why isn’t there a golf course here?) to the coastline. Bit of beach action as we approach the River Gannell not really knowing how far upstream we’ll have to walk in order to cross it. Fortunately, the tide is reasonably low and therefore, although the first tidal bridge is closed for repair, we are able to de-shod and walk through the stream. Is this really the first time that we’ve paddled on the walk? More beach action along Fistral (looks really nice in the spring sunshine before all the holidaymakers and weekenders arrive) and through Newquay where postcards are bought and there’s a bit of rock climbing to get back up to the path after the final beach/bay. (We could have used a zip wire to cross the bay instead....in theory so far as two of us are concerned!) After Newquay, it’s the length of Watergate Bay and on towards the Carnewas NT tea rooms where we’ve decided to finish having ascertained that it sells crab sandwiches – and that it isn’t licensed. We also need to arrange a Colin pick up. A pub en route to Carnewas in Mawgan Porth addresses both issues. We arrive at Carnewas with time to have crab sandwiches before Colin arrives to take us to Bodmin Parkway
