		Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5
		A walk from the Hotel door today.
		We decide to walk the mile along the front . .
		Before heading for the mountains . .
		As is usual in these parts, we need to climb steeply past the cottages near the coast . .
		And some of us soon get warm . .
		Not content with steep hills we have tall ladder stiles . .
		Pausing to look back over the coastline . .
		And sheltering to study the map . .
		We head up ancient trackways . .
		And have coffee in an old mining area . .
		We work our way around the hills until we have our first view over the Estuary . .
		The views are atmospheric . .
		Is it sheltered enough for lunch here? . .
		Yes, if you position yourself correctly . .
		We spot a sheep apparently in trouble . .
		Heather and Ross dash to the rescue, but the sheep trots nonchalantly off! . .
		After an hour climbing a mountain pass (no photos taken) we emerge and spot the coastline in the west once again . .
		We head downhill . .
		The landscape becomes more pastoral . .
		Sheep may safely graze . .
		Nearly down to sea level now . .
		We return along the coast road back to the hotel!
