Padstow to Portcothan - Wednesday 25th April 2012
Path Facts - Length: 13.5 miles, Ascent: 2500 feet
For several days the weather forecast had been promising a huge swirling mass of rain and wind crossing the country. Although the estimate of it's arrival had been put back a few times last night's forecast more than hinted that today was going to be the actual day. Just before a breakfast a heavy shower hit.
Breakfast in the Golden Lion was accompanied by a small Westie type dog frantically barking and paddling at the window at the presence of a passing Afghan Hound. A regular occurrence apparently.
The path picks up again near the war memorial in Padstow. The skies were still pretty dark but luckily it turned out that the worst of the real storms had passed the West Country in the early morning and were heading further East.
