It was raining on and off but I headed for a quiet bit of the coast for some walking as Sunday and Monday look to be the best days.
Yet again I attempted to photograph the sea arch at the Strangles beach – I got nearer this time but the rocks were far too wet to scramble over.

Filter coffee and breakfast, whilst still in my sleeping, listening to the rain outside on the tent.
Having used my new Vango Banshee 200 tent for a week I have made a few small alterations.
I changed the supplied pegs out for:
I did not buy a footprint a 2m x 1m taro from the camping shop does (almost) the same job, for a fraction of the price. The bottom 40cm of the narrow foot of the tent ground sheet is exposed and needed wiping off.
The strap across the door is only fitted to the porch side of the tent.
To make the tent easier to put up I tied the correct length of paracord to the tent straps on the door side of the tent.
I can now pull the tent from the foot and get the tension between both sides balanced easier and more accurately.
This may be a two person tent according to the Duke of Edinburgh scheme specification and Go Outdoors – but it is not a “normal use” two adult tent. It is a generous one person tent.

The weather is so nice it was breakfast outside.
Then a walk along Slapton Sands.
