We left the car in the Central car park in Porlock and
walked through the town until we reached the entrance to Sparkhayes Lane. Here we passed pretty gardens and 50 yards after Parks View we climbed some stone steps into Bay Road. When we reached its junction with Villes Lane we turned left onto a rough path - our first view of the sea.
The walk has some kissing gates - infinitely preferable to climbing stiles IMO.
Bossington Hill has always been a favourite but I was to learn its tragic history.
Here our orienteering went awry due to unclear instructions - so we skirted this field and had to retrace our steps.
Back on track - the lady in red was picking blackberries. She had two plastic bags bulging with the luscious fruit and was going to make jam.
I had to stop and chat to this charmer.
This - I think is near Sea Lane Bossington
Here is the shingle ridge above Bossington Beach. The top of the ridge is the perfect spot to stand and stare at the sea.
I couldn't resist shouting to T not to fall in after last season's excitement.
