Day 33 Bedruthan Steps to Padstow 3.6.13

Again Bristol is the rail meeting point, and we get to Carnewas via Bodmin in reasonably good time. Turns out that today’s Colin lives near Padstow, so he could well be Les’s successor for the next couple of days. En route to Carnewas, he points out a large low flying passenger jet and says that pilots are learning how to take off and land a Dreamliner at Newquay airport which, apparently, has one of the longest runways in the country. We see the plane frequently over the next 24 hours. Don’t they use flight simulators these days? Lovely weather conditions once more (even Gary’s in shorts – or three quarter longs) and beaches aplenty through Pentire and Porthcothan to Constantine Bay and Trevose Head. We reach Trevone, where we’re booked to stay, by about 4 o’clock, so plenty of time to continue around the headland and into Padstow where we’ve arranged for Les Mk 2 (“LM2”) to collect us and take us back to the Well Parc Hotel in Trevone. Further arrangements made for him to pick us up tomorrow morning at 8:00 (and when we finish at lunchtime). A few free samples of beer from barrels used at a recent “tasting” event are the prelude to the customary further drinks and a pretty good supper. Some kind of casino event taking place in one of the bars which we manage to avoid.
