It was a day of being stopped in our tracks. We are in the Coastguards cottage, so very near the coast. I found a lovely trail to Tennyson's memorial and then onto the needles. However, there is a big barrier in our way, the stile! They are the bain of dogowners. So, back in the car for a 2 minute drive. We walked to the battery which is further than once through, along a tarmac road. Alas, it's closed until the spring. We had a glorious view over the colourful cliffs. Alas, the sunshine didn't last and a shower turned into a downpour and we were drenched. So wet that we took shelter in the new battery, an empty concrete building. But at least it was out of the elements.
Onwards to a viewpoint of the needles, which was worth it. Back to the cottage and then to the vets. Alas, Sailor has a poorly foot but will be able to continue the hard bootcamp we have planned for the week :)
When we got back, we tried to light the woodburner in the sauna but it's so damp, we were thwarted. Try again tomorrow.
