Some lessons learned
When planning this trip I did look at how far I might try to get on my first day. I initially thought I could make it to Osmington where I know of a nice campsite, but when I started looking at the distance I realised it would be over 30 miles. I continued my stupid...
Indecisive
I’m going to be honest up front on this post and tell you the end at the start, just not to give the wrong impression, but I eventually made the decision to leave the trail early. I’m very disappointed and still, even when writing this, thinking I maybe should have...
