Coast path encounters

We met quite a few people on the coast path from Coleton Camp to Coleton Fishacre. People who wanted to chat. People camping. People lost and walking the wrong way. It was busy due to the weather. It is rugged, uneven and awkward on that stretch and I struggled quite a bit. It occurred to me that in the future I could find a bench on an accessible bit and wait for people to come by for a chat. I would never be lonely. We once met a man on the Pennine  Way who did just that, as he lived nearby.
