All around the village of Boscastle there are plaques announcing that this or that building had been rebuilt or reconstructed following the flood of 2004.

Appropriately enough I wake up to rain for the first time in my walk. Seeing that the rain is forecast to continue all day I decide to avoid the cliff top coastal path and head onto the roads.
Nearly 17 miles of rain drenched country road take me to Bude via Crackington Haven (and a bacon sandwich) and Widemouth Bay (and a pint of Korev).
