166.8 miles walked 463.2 miles to go<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weather wise todays walk started in much better conditions with spells of sunshine and very low wind but then later it\u00a0deteriorated to heavy showers. I met my first real walkers today, a couple with their dog walking from Lands End to John O’Groats<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude42 So still no South West Coastpathers.<\/p>\n

Still very much a roller coaster in terms of ascent & descent w<\/a>ith some very steep ones.<\/p>\n

\"Doc<\/a>The highlight was stopping at a cafe in Port Isaac to be told it was the\u00a0ephemera centre for Doc Martin \u00a0goodies, the owner was pretty astounded that I didn’t know who he was! Even though people travel from the USA etc to visit the place. He even told me where the home\/surgery was, right on the coast path. Wikipedia says this\u00a0Doc Martin<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0British television<\/a>\u00a0comedy drama series starring\u00a0Martin Clunes<\/a>\u00a0in the title role.]<\/a><\/sup>The show is set in the fictional seaside village of Portwenn and filmed on location in the village of\u00a0Port Isaac<\/a>,Cornwall<\/a>,\u00a0United Kingdom<\/a>, with most interior scenes shot in a converted local barn.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Padstow<\/a>
\u00e0 dieu last ferry \ud83d\ude41<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once again the evil creators of the route had me walking in a tight loop around Pentire point adding a few extra miles which after a day of climbing endless steep steps was the reason I arrived at Rock Ferry point to see the ferry just moving out \ud83d\ude42 I twittered that I had missed the last ferry \ud83d\ude42 @davidanthony5 instantly replied about getting a bus from up the road to Wadebridge and then onto Padstow, which I did. So a 5 minute ferry crossing turned into a 2 hour epic \ud83d\ude41 So check ferry times !<\/p>\n

Tonight I’m staying with Sally’s<\/a> uncle in St Merryn who will give me a lift into Padstow tomorrow to resume the walk.<\/p>\n

Today’s stats are here<\/a> pictures here<\/a> and Everytrail here<\/p>\n
