Cliffs not as high as has been typical, but with fascinating forms. Something about the way the rock strata are oriented and their differing hardnesses has produced as succession of narrow inlets along this part of the coast. The process seems to begin with the formation of a deep sea cave at the bottom of a cliff, in which waves erode the roof until it collapses forming a steep sided hole linked by what is now a tunnel to the ocean. The holes are surprisingly big -- as much as 30 meters across, and similarly deep. Further erosion then eventually wears away the rock above the tunnel and the inlet is formed. We saw a couple of these holes... most impressive!
I must also report that the new set of hikers are disturbingly fit... I don't think I'm going to be able to wear them down....
Tonight's B&B is close to the other end of the spectrum from the one we stayed at in Padstow. Coswarth House in Padstow was, together with The Old Rectory in Morwenstowe the nicest place we have stayed... large rooms, recently and elegantly redecorated, comfortable beds, luxurious linen, great showers... etc., etc., etc. Trevemedar Cottage is old, has small rooms and smaller showers (shared of course), wonky floors and stairs, and so on. It is also the only place to stay within an hour in each direction, so we love it ;-).
