It's a Crow!: March 2014

Anarchy in Hope Cove

Friday

On Friday we met up in the pub and then took the dogs for a stroll to Thurlestone.
4.28 km or 2.7 miles
Ascent 142 metres or 465 feet
Unfortunately the Village Inn was shut so we repaired to the Church House at Churchstow.

Enough terriers for the moment.

Saturday

Bantham to Hope Cove and back via the Village Inn at Thurlestone, open this time!
14.59 km or 9.1 miles
Ascent 436 metres or 1430 feet

We walked to Hope Cove to have a pint or two at the Hope and Anchor. Unhappily the day was marred by an outbreak of ANARCHY.

We got to Hope Cove and could see the pub, unfortunately the coast path was closed due to storm damage for about 10 yards. The diversion was about quarter of a mile which was obviously not to be borne, at least according to the wife.

In contravention of the LAW OF ENGLAND and the dire prognostications of seagulls flying widdershins around us we legged it over the fences at each end.

Survived to take dinner at the Sloop!

Sunday

Bantham to Kingston and back via the Dolphin Inn
15.42 km or 9.6 miles
Ascent 651 metres or 2135 feet

A lovely day with a lot of up-and-down. We parked in Bigbury and walked the coast path to the Erme estuary where we turned inland to Kingston and the Dolphin Inn.

The award for most artistic roll in a dead seabird was won by Pip.

Smelliest bitch award was also Pip.

The award for catching a dead rabbit was won by Treacle.
Most unhygienic bitch award was also Treacle.

Evening at the Village Inn.
