Highlights of this segment of the SWCP included the perfect rainbow and finishing off with fish finger sandwiches in a tea hut. Yes, easily pleased.

SWCP Haiku #4

Acorns, wooden posts
Lichen encrusted hawthorn
The path at our feet

SWCP Haiku #5

Sky and clouds reflect
In the estuary waters
Vast expanse of sand

SWCP Haiku #6

Four little birdies
With no fear of us humans
A gruesome dead fish

Derek and Lesley's Bit

Beautiful sandy bays in the coves below jagged rock jutting out into the sky. Passed disused metal mines now just vegetated dumps. We head down on to the wide open space of the beach where there space for all but we felt like the pied piper as people wanted to walk in our foot steps & not give us any space! Why? We will never know.
