Sunburns. We have sunburns. In England. In May. Despite wearing sunscreen. Either the ozone layer has suddenly disappeared, or the weather is really as good as it seems to be.
A beautiful hike as well as a beautiful day. 9:15 start, 4:15 finish, with about an hour break midday for a taxi ride around the Erme estuary and drinks in a 15thC pub. We haven't had lunch yet... those full English breakfasts are just too much (and too good). Dinner yesterday in The Ship Inn in Noss Mayo was fine (although not as good as tThe Greedy Goose the night before), and Worswell Barton Farmhouse and B&B, where we spent the night, was excellent.
Lots of ups and downs today, into and out of picturesque coves. Very few other people on the trails... maybe a dozen people outside of a few beach areas all day. I know it is Monday, and May, and the West Country is far from the world, but what is wrong with people that they don't go hiking along this beautiful coast more often? I'm finger-frozen (speechless, when typing).
Two new pairs of hikers are joining us this evening -- Matt & Pam, and Mel & Jan. Looking forward to them... and to tomorrow's hike!
