We did that walk too - beautiful view of the stunning coastline. We were lucky - it was breezy but very sunny. We were accompanied by a friendly three-legged dog up and back. When we got back to the beach, he adopted a French family. No idea where he came from! We were very lucky with the weather.
We're looking forward to retirement (or close - boy going off to uni in Sept) so we can tootle off in the van at will. Summer weather in the UK is so unreliable, isn't it? My husband works for himself so can sometimes just turn the computer off and disappear for a couple of days (well, of course the phone/email is always on ...), so if we come across a good weather forecast we'll just be able to take off - life will get much, much better.
