\"barefoot<\/a>Not sure how many more of these postsI can do! \u00a0Every day has such amazing views and gorgeous weather \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Today was the shortest so far only 15 miles walked although it was a record for ice creams consumed! since Woolacombe is such a holiday honey pot.\u00a0Arriving\u00a0their bought back memories of Nick’s<\/a> first holiday in 1975, it’s still much the same except for the HUGE numbers of surfers with their boards and rubber kit. In fact te whole Devon coast is a bit of a time warp, this was bought home after reading Cory Doctorow’s twitters about been stuck in immigration at LHR T5 [blackbirdpie url=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/doctorow\/status\/190739532101070848″]\u00a0which is about as far removed from walking through villages like Lee Bay as you can get.<\/p>\n

I finally ended in Croyde desperate to find a b&b the first 5 were all full \ud83d\ude41 So I ended up paying\u00a0\u00a365 for a basic b&b (with no wi-fi). the warning sign is AA recommended! \u00a0The whole village is<\/span>\u00a0a \u00a0a wallet busting place. I mean \u00a34.70 for a Guinness in a PH.<\/p>\n

I’ve managed to get a small blood blister on the side of my left heel , I attacked it with the army knife plus cut of the sides of the insole so hopefully it will be gone tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The next few days look easier as it’s an old railway line \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
