GB19 - Day 3

Up late. Well I was. The lack of sleep at the Days Inn with Reggie wanting to go out every two hours and the long hours at the wheel and I was knackered.

We chose to visit Clovelly. TomTom reckoned 10 miles until we set off. We had been going a while and it was 9! It looks like TomTom's initial guess is that it's as the crow flies until the route gets planned.

Clovelly is pretty famous. We have been before but not with a dog. The descent to see sea and harbour and the Red Lion pub is in three phases. The first downhill to the pottery is slight. Part two from there to the top of the main Street steeper and made of stones not proper cobbles. 

Wear Skechers at your peril.

The third section is the main street. Same underfoot stones and steps in places. We had a break at the New Inn for a sandwich and a drink. It rained a bit but the prawn and crab baguettes were very nice. I had a half of the local Golden Pig beer. Nice and hippy. Not quite the after taste of IPA.

An ice-cream on the way back finished off the visit. Saying that legs hurt a bit after the walk back up would be an understatement.

We needed some stuff for dinner so we looked for the Asda just off the A39 at Bideford. Claire went in and we looked after the car.

Another cream tea when we got back to finish off Anna's lot. 

Devon Cream Tea

Don't worry we have plenty more scones, jam and clotted cream.

What's in store tomorrow? There is a railway at Great Torrington. Dartmoor is to the south....
