Day 35 – Port Gaverne to Boscastle

Day 35 – Port Gaverne to Boscastle

A three train arrival at Exeter with Gary travelling from Teignmouth. LM2 unavailable (wife in hospital) but, through him, have arranged substitute Colin called Alf who gets us to Port Gaverne in time for an 11:20 start. Prefaced, however, by a return to the Port Gaverne Hotel for a pint of Rattler (or a half for the “moderating influencer”). A few climbs when we do get under way and, for the first time for a considerable period, we make a lunchtime stop at the Port William, Trebarwith Strand. No subsequent problem with the remaining climbs past Tintagel and round to Boscastle. The Riverside Hotel is our overnighter and, for once, we freshen up before the first evening cider at a neighbouring hotel. Supper back at the Riverside pretty good, followed by one large sticky and kip.
