It was rubbish collection day in Clovelly today and everything has to be taken down hill on sleds and then taken by land rover from the back of the pub.
Before we left Clovelly we went looking for donkeys that used to pull the sleds up and down but are now only a tourist attraction.
The donkeys were having their breakfast and the mist started to come down as we set off through the woods past the Angels Wings shelter.
At Mouthmill Beach we spent some time taking photos of Blackchurch Rock which was quite difficult to get to walking on the slippery stones.
After this the weather closed in and the radar station that we should have been able to see from miles away was just about visible from the path.
There was a tea shack shortly after this and surprise surprise it was open so of course we had to have a cuppa. Needless to say there was nobody else around.
We never did see the lighthouse, and towards the end I could barely see Margaret in front of me.
We were staying at the Hartland Quay hotel which is in a spectacular position but today there wasn't much to be seen. This was the most expensive place we stayed and the only place that hadn't taken our bags to our room for us! At least we didn't have to go looking for a meal as the bar meals were very good and it is a popular spot for viewing the sunset apparently. Not for us though.
