Bagged on nice circular walk from Bude following canal path and then muddy fields to Widemouth Bay. Afterwards following the coast path back to Bude. Toposcope next door unhelpful. Earlier that day we bagged Hobbacott trig. Spring-like weather.

This has got to be one of the best rigs I've been to for views, if not, "the best". Added to this spectacular trig is the fact it is so close to the edge of the cliff. Amazing view all around. Elevation 68 meters.
