So, off we went to Bude on the SW coast of UK into North Cornwall. A beautiful sea coast town reminiscent of Seaside, Oregon but with a bit more taste. I'm not a fan of Seaside. This was much nicer. Met our kayak guide, "Eggy", a young man about Kim's age with a very friendly and helpful nature. He guided us 3 miles up a canal with two portages above the locks and a third stop at a tea room in the country, just off the canal, then back down the 3 miles, with portages to our starting point. Not a lot of pictures of the canal as the camera was in a dry sack, but we did stop for a few just to let you see the landscape. It was wonderful and Eggy was a great guide. We came back to our room in Parkham and had dinner at the Penhaven restaurant, adjacent to the cottages. Tomorrow, we're off to explore Cornwall and Devon on the train. ( of course, this is after Mom's 6 mile run tomorrrow and my 3 mile run.) Just trying to work my way back up to my 5k preparation. That's about it for today.
