Sunny and blustery, unfortunately from the east so mostly a crosswind but a headwind the last third of the day. Beautiful views along the hilly north coast, very steep up and downs compounded by beach traffic on narrow windy roads. But wonderful nonetheless. Until turning full into wind going inland, steep single lane farm roads, few turnouts, did a lot of walking uphill. Knees going up and brakes going down complaining as fatigue built. For this 72 mile day I averaged 9mph, felt much longer. But nice pub at the end, even a good vegan bean dish for dinner. And dog friendly, lots inside. I decided to provoke the locals in the bar into a discussion by asking about Brexit, majority were opposed for various reasons. In return they asked me about Trump. Now they're talking about how well they're doing in the gold medal count. Lots of fun chatting.
