The photos show, apart from Alison trekking through the wilderness before arriving at Challaborough, the scenery surrounding Burgh Island at Bigbury On Sea. We stayed at a B & B at Challaborough but set off to find somewhere to eat at Bigbury which was a waste of time as there was nowhere to go. It was time for the taxi again and we were taken a few miles to some fancy place where it cost £9.00 for a plate of salad and a bit of aubergine - not very impressive at all.
The tide sweeps across the strip of sand between Bigbury and Burgh Island which restricts access to the island for a short while. It's a great beach there and Jane and Keith explored more of it the following morning when we'd set off on day three of our adventure. Jane was determined to have a Famous Five type adventure and perhaps that's why she was so keen to visit the 'mysterious island' where Agatha Christie, no less, wrote one of her novels.
They did a seal which was stranded as the tide receded. I'm not sure if that counts as adventure.
