I parked the car in the car park at Porthcolthan. Margaret walked with me all day today. It was a pleasant if not memorable walk to Bedruthan Steps where we took out National Trust membership – feeling guilty for not having joined before but having walked through much of their land. We toasted our membership by having tea and cake in the busy tea shop. This is the life.
The cliff top was busy here today but people weren't being allowed down the steps because of erosion problems. Mawgan Porth was also not very memorable. Towards Newquay we got down onto the beach only getting back up on the cliffs at Beach (?). The walk into Newquay was not too bad but Newquay itself was awful. It was very hot by now and we sheltered in the shade and had a milky drink before getting the bus back, which went through all the holiday camps en-route.

We went out for a last meal with friends before Margaret broke the news to them that she was pregnant. She could have told me first! Had cheese on chips – the local specialty for tea.
