Tuesday 7th October
This morning we left our camera bags behind and travelled light with a single camera and lens. We walked east along the coast towards the Ladies Window which was about a mile away. The path wasn’t too difficult although I still carried Holly across the difficult patches.
The view east from the cliffs was towards Boscastle with Vanessa enjoying the view.

On the return journey Vanessa spotted a large caterpillar so we spent a little time trying to photograph it.


Haven’t a clue, what variety of moth this may be, but the caterpillar was about 6cm long.
So back to the motorhome for lunch and then off in the car to revisit a couple of coves. Port Isaac where Doc Martin was filmed was the first which we visited and photographed 2 years ago. Then headed to Port Quin just missing a group of canoeists who were packing away. But took this image in the late evening sunlight.

After this we headed off for some shopping and then return back to the motorhome. Tomorrow we will visit the Castle at Tintagel.



I’d say its a Fox moth caterpillar, https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2021/06/hairy-caterpillar-identification/#:~:text=2.-,Fox%20moth%20caterpillar,-(Macrothylacia%20rubi
