Stage 11 -- Morwenstowe to Widemouth Bay

Sunburn weather, easy hike, pleasant interlude in Bude.

But first... BEST CHIPS IN YEARS IN THE BUSH INN, MORWENSTOWE. Sorry, had to get that out of my system. For the untravelled Americans among us, "chips" are "french fries". And the rest of the meal was excellent too....

And second, Lidia left this morning as planned. She's off to Cambridge to help Madeleine do some end of the year packing, then she'll be in London for a few days and then... perhaps Provence, perhaps Bavaria, but probably not Cornwall unless the UK Meteorological Office promises her that there will be no wind during the last week of our hike.

But it was too bad she wasn't with us today because, of course, today was a perfect hiking day. We ambled along, through increasingly gentle terrain, had a nice light lunch at the "Life's a Beach" cafe in Bude, and sauntered into our Inn around 5PM. I'm sure there's more to tell, but I'm yawning too much to think. Maybe more later.
