With: Jo, Mattias

Route: Partington Cove to McWay Falls

Jo swore the fog would clear by ten. It cleared at two. We waited it out on a rock that was, in hindsight, definitely someone's picnic spot, and made friends with a very confident gull. When the sun came through it was so sudden and so gold that Mattias just started laughing. Best kind of wrong we've ever been.
