Here we go blog number two and on time.
I am still at Conto Campsite which has filled up a bit more today. I checked and it has 116 campsites spread over 8 seperate sections. Rather basic but provides indivual seperate marked bays including marked areas for tents and has toilets and a camp kitchen in each location.
The weather today has been overcast and windy and cold and after some rain last night we had some very light sprinkles, just a few drops each time, during the day.
After not finding the coast on this mornings walk, in fact being told by one of the camp hosts that the coast was 6 kms away, I spent the morning in the van. The morning walk was about 3k so I was not being too lazy! Anyway after lunch I had an idea - Google is my friend so I looked up Google Maps and found out that there is a track to the coast, an official track, that only 1km long. So I put it in my phone and followed the directions to the cliff top where I took some photos. The track down to the beach is sandy and steep so I will do that tomorrow. Back at the van it was an indoor afternoon.
I was pleased to note that even though I have not got iiNet coverage the google maps tracked my walk but without showing it on an actual map. This is good because it means that when I go on a walk I will be able to find my way back, if necessary, by following the track on my phone. I have ‘sos only’ coverage at the moment so I will have to see how it works when I have ‘no service’
