I regretted by passing the coastal path from Clovelly to Bidiford.So decided to go back. I had to get the coach to Barnstaple, stay overnight, bus it to Clovelly. All good plans. The driver from Barnstaple to Bidiford was 5 minutes late, so I missed the connection. 2 hours wait on Bidiford Quay. Got to Clovelly at 14.30. To meet me at the visitors center was The Clovelly Brewery. Next time. The walk was a flat wide drive, allowing me to walk and chat with for an hour with a couple with 2 dogs heading for the Holiday Park. Then the steep bits. Also, it started to rain. I was so hot with my hat I felt ok.The streams were dry. Only at Portlodge did I find water. It was now raining hard. Luckily, a reasonable place to camp. It was 6pm, I did not care if I was seen. Once up the tent soon became reasonably dry. Surf was noisy, rain was noisy. I was ok. 6.2 miles. Grid reference 387248 Total miles 1022.
