Day 7 Port Gaverna to Tintagel 9 miles

Very little to write for today's walk. Due to yesterday's mistake with the campsite, and the extra hours I'd walked, today I'd only have to cover eight or nine miles from Port Gaverne to Tintagel. I left camp at half six and stuck to the back roads almost the entire way. My arm was still tender so I made sure to put very little weight on it but it was already getting better.

The paths across smaller bits of country side seem to be the worst, ignored and over grown. On this stretch I was brought up short a few times, forced to retrace my steps or climb a fence or two. The smaller roads are okay to walk on though, very little traffic and you can get a good rhythm going easily enough. 

  It took 4 1/2 hours of walking, not very strenuous but I was still tired from yesterday and it was with relief that I hit camp. The Headland  Caravan and camping Park is another campsite which kindly offered me a free pitch in support of the walk and it's a lovely place, a wide open space well kept and clean. On this day it also housed a group of lambs in the nearby field who were having a wonderful time running as a flock at the gate and then viering away as if scared before rushing back. It was mesmerising just watching them.

  Once set up I wondered back into the Center to buy a free things and have a look around. It was only 12:00 by then and I had plenty of time to play with. Most of the ships are tourist aimed with little in them so buying a free postcards I settled with a drink and wrote. I also visited the The Old

Post Office, a 13 century building restore and owned by the National Trust. It's only a small building but stunning nonetheless. After I grabbed some tortellini for dinner and, I'm ashamed to say, lay in my tent dozing and watching a film on my phone.
