Today marks the end of my fifth week on The Path and I’ve now covered 545 miles of the 630, so only 85 miles to go 🙂 I left Larkstone House after a humungous breakfast and what can only be described as a blast with a pressure jet shower, easily the most powerful one yet […]
Today started off as a low energy day, funny how buildings can do that to you. It didn’t get much better when I left and found it to be raining. 🙁 I continued walking along the coast wall between the sea and Gods Wonderful Railway as the GWR was known. at Dawlish Warren (an apt […]
Another brilliant sunshine day with no wind, that’s two in a row now 🙂 The day started with an easyish walk along The English Riviera past all the very English beach huts overlooking the red sands. Climbing out through the old gasworks, now skilfully converted into a park with the old gasometer basins made into pond […]
After the mother of all sleeps at Fairholme I awoke for the first time, on this trip, to a glorious blue sky and no wind. After a lavish breakfast I was on my way. The first 4 miles to Dartmouth were OK, although I declined the option through the mud and followed a dog walker […]
No complaints about the weather today! mainly sunshine light winds pretty well perfect. After a hearty , if somewhat late breakfast, at The Ria View I took the£1.50 ferry across the estuary and started walking at 10am. I made excellent progress and soon caught up with the lads I met at the Avon ferry yesterday, […]
Today was all about the weather, there was little else to see due to the very low cloud. At Bigbury you couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Burgh island. What I did see were the huge number of planning applications tagged to everything that couldn’t move, Cambridge may think it has a problem of over […]
I awoke to the delicious smell of home made bread, a wholemeal loaf especially baked for me by Jackie, this combined with a fresh fruit salad with home made yogurt (Sally would really have loved) a bowl of steaming porridge plus two farm fresh eggs made a great start to the day. Which is more than […]
I woke up from a terrible nights sleep with a thumping headache feeling awful. I popped some Nurofen but realised I was probably suffering from dehydration 🙁 I went into Plymouth bought some new inner socks and a 2 litre bottle of carbonated water (Why don’t shops /garages keep carbonated water in the chiller cabinets? […]
Another long day with just under 19 miles walked and 4780 feet climbed! The Schooner Point gave me an excellent breakfast, I particularly liked the way all the homemade items were labelled and the way the cereals were stored in cavernous glass bottles with ladles. Very tidy & brand less 🙂 Since I left early it was […]
Another epic day with around 24 miles covered at a very respectable speed of 2.7mph, given the over 5,000 feet climbed on the roller coaster section after Fowey, It was a another cloudy day with odd spells of sunshine later in the day but no wind. The path was very busy in places, well near car […]
