Crackington Haven

The estuary at Bude
Today was a wonderful day for hiking along the path.  The sun was shining, the sea and the sky were blue and the views were clear.  Even better, the first part of the walk was easy going so I could enjoy all of the benefits that the coast had to offer.

Widemouth Bay

Just past Widemouth Bay the path changed from "easy" to "strenuous" as indicated in the south west coast path guide book.  Looking down at Widemouth Bay I could see the cliffs and headlands looming in the distance.  More of a challenge than the morning but, with the good weather, an opportunity to experience the grandeur of this stretch of coastline.

Looking back towards Widemouth Bay with Bude in the distance.

More ponies roaming the cliff tops.

The end of a good day.
