South West Coastal Path 2015 Day 9
Wednesday 2nd September 2015
My sleep was interrupted by the sound of
wooden sleds being pulled down the cobblestone path. They use them to make deliveries and collect
rubbish. I understand there is a road
that accesses the lowest part of the town, where the sleds are collected and driven
around and back up for the next day. Anyway, off on the trail once more.
Along the trail, I came across more "pheasants", which are apparently guinea fowl.

About an hour into my walk I was kneeling to
take a photo of this giant mushroom, when I stood up and felt something in below
or in my right knee tear.
I hobbled on and took painkillers and anti-inflammatories to help. Along the coast there were flat sheets of stone that had been tilted and stuck up into the sky.
At
Hartland Quay refreshments I
purchased a ginger beer float and obtained some ice for the knee. The
guy running it gave me a drink card where once you've bought 5 you get
one free, which made me laugh. Who would walk the SWCP 5 times to get a
free drink? While sitting there chilling it, Andrew and
Asa arrived. I walked with them to the Hartland
Quay hotel where we had some drinks and chatted.
They were not staying here, so continued along the trail while I hobbled 20 minutes up the road to my B&B in nearby Stoke. Later, I hobbled back to the hotel for a smoked mackerel salad dinner.
