Total: 202+m / Daily:20m / Sun, Overcast, Rain / 1x Naked Photoshoot
I had nice spot to camp last night: a headland some way away from Newquay but with a view looking at it across the bay. In Newquay by mid morning I decided not to stay for long, only visiting Aldi (which I did not know doesn't accept credit cards!) before heading on past the famous Fistral Beach. I walked a narrow path between the sand dunes and the golf course, sand was slowly but surely getting into my boots.
Sand dunes, or beaches were in sight for the vast majority of today and I saw 100s if not 1000s of surfers across the various spots today. Sand makes for progress slow, especially when it's soft sand but I was happy enough, dragging my poles and making patterned trails as I went.
The ferry service at Fern Pit had turned into a wooden bridge, one which they use when the tide is fully out and it has floating supports so that it is at the right height. There was no mention of this in the guide book so it made a pleasant surprise. I had my photo taken by a lady who sympathises with my cause and I wish her the best with next week. It'll be interesting to see whether that photo makes it here.
WARNING, the following paragraph contains references to scenes of a sexual nature and is not suitable for younger audiences. Well, perhaps that is a little strong, but now that you are paying attention: I rounded a corner of a rocky headland to yet another sandy cove and there were 3 people all looking down. I assumed a seal or some sort of animal. Once I got close enough to see down there were 7 or 8 people looking down into a secluded part of the beach. A lady with long back hair was posing naked against the rocks whilst a photographer captured the moment. This continued as she held various poses, completely oblivious to her audience who were chatting and giggling above.
I camped on a flat grassy spot at some disused mines. Wasn't sure whether I was going to disappear down the cliff in the night! There are a number of blow holes, caged with iron which look a little odd sticking up out of the ground.
I managed to withdraw some cash without paying the charge for taking cash on a credit card thanks to the prompt machine at the card company's call centre after I phoned to try and pay it off. However I can't do that again and will have to pay some interest next time... Any bright ideas for how to do the next 400m on £100 cash (and card)?
