Back to the break now, we spent ten minutes or so defrosting Poppy the Beetle and letting the engine warm up a little bit and then (extremely cautiously) picked our way along the ice covered roads towards Widemouth bay, which looked astonishing (normally only being privvy to it in clement conditions) with the thick covering of ice -
- nothing was stopping Flyingpops though, so we splashed on down to the sea -
- where I got a nice shot of the beach -
- it was (however) a little on the chilly side, so our stay was reasonably brief...next stop was Bude (just a few minutes drive away), as we left we spotted this guy running along the beach with his dog carrying a skull and crossbones and an anarchists flag -
- (a little odd), he looked like he was going to carry on all the way up the cliffs before we left him in our dust...
Bude was much the same as last time I was here (for Tim's Stag do) -
- we checked out the shops (Flyingpops buying a very posh new knitted hat for a couple of quid) and found a gift shop we had been told about which had everything (except the fudge) discounted by 75%, so Flyingpops went a bit mad buying model Campers and Beetles, Cream Tea themed mugs and other touristy bits that had obviously not been selling too well over the summer...and laden down with carrier bags we popped into a little pasty shop -
- for a spot of lunch -
- before heading back to the site to show off our pirate booty and get ready for our trip out in the afternoon... ;)
