Widemouth Bay
I went out early and had my breakfast overlooking Widemouth Bay, before attending the weekly staff meeting via Teams – in the car, in the rain!
South West Coast Path
After the meeting, the rain stopped, so I walked down to the beach along the South West Coast Path.

Coffee on the way back.
Solid fuel folding stove, with a MSR titanium mug – with two tin foil wind shields – it was really windy!

South West Coast Path walk
I parked in the same place I did on Saturday and walked north(ish) towards Bude – taking as many opportunities as possible to make images.
The light was particularly good as the weather was overcast – so no hard shadows but it did mean the distance was a bit hazy.
First order is the day was find somewhere for breakfast with a great view. With this is mind I found an out of the way drop in the cliff down to a spot – out of the wind but where the main sound was the crash of the waves.
The plastic box is an up-cycled cake box. Breakfast was home baked wholemeal bread with cheese spread and homemade plum jam. Of course I brewed fresh coffee.
The biscuits (Oreo’s and breakfast biscuits), apple and fried rice is for lunch or snacks. In the box is also milk, curtesy of the hotel, a vegetable stock cube and soy sauce.

Last day of my leave
Although I had to work yesterday and this morning – today is officially my last day off.
I thought a walk along the disused Sleaford Canal and coffee in the autumn sun was a good plan for the day.
One useful bit of kit I do not mention is the fold-up stool. The steel and canvas construction is strong and it comes with a canvas sleeve that makes it easier to pack. It is heavier than an aluminium equivalent but this stool is more compact and stronger.
Having a comfortable seat for my breaks, easily makes up for the extra weight carried.
