Martin and Marina's Bit
Early on today's walk we had to cross a river using a tidal bridge. "What's a tidal bridge?" you may or may not be asking (I asked!). Well.... it's a bridge that you can only use at lower tide. At high tide it is completely submerged beneath the water. We waited 45 minutes by the side of the river, watching the level go down at a surprisingly fast rate. With the bridge still a couple of inches beneath the surface, we walked / waded across. Great fun and everyone's feet stayed dry! There's a short video of the crossing at the end of this page.
We finished the day off with some great food and copious amounts of coffee at the very friendly and highly recommended, Chrissy's Tearoom in Perranporth.

Yes you spotted it we had a day’s rest!
So now its Monday to sum it up
Lesley’s words.
Tidal Bridge,
Swimming Dog’s,
Sucking Mud,
Newquay.
The tidal bridge as an experience but the mud on the other side to cross the small creek was something else if we could introduce smells to the blog I think you would have all left by now!
Unfortunately no photos of mud crossing but we did all manage to stay upright.
