Today we parked up at Holywell and walked through the dunes to Kelsey head where there was clear evidence (embankments) of an iron age fort. Flints have been found from earlier periods - sadly, not today! Then onto and across the beach at Porth Joke - one of the few sandy bays without a car park! Then across the headland to Crantock Beach, where fortunately the tide was out, so with a quick paddle, the water from the river Gannel was rather fresh, we saved ourselves a few miles. Then onto Fistral and into Newquay for a pasty before returning to Holywell. We just about scraped getting back across Crantock beach again so avoiding that long detour to the head of the beach. Rocky had the best day again: chasing crows; running in huge circles; leaping large puddles; eating pasty ends and ice cream cone ends.
