I’m a time traveller
If I’ve got the physics correct, there is a chance I’ve got them wrong, as we go faster, time slows down. This means the astronauts on the international space station are aging slightly slower than the rest of us down here on earth. There’s not a lot in it, I think...
It was easier on a boat
It’s been an interesting day today. At some points it felt like things were going wrong and it became quite stressful and difficult, and other times, thankfully the majority, it was really fun although often quite challenging. When we travelled on Loch Ness on the...
A significant diversion
It appears that I wasn’t properly listening to the man I met at the bottom of the locks on the Caledonian Canal yesterday. He was telling me about part of the route that diverts on the other side of a loch and was telling me it was quite a pain and that it was closed...
Another ferry
Crazy strong wind I was sheltering behind a strange looking building, that was slightly off the path, as the forecast had predicted that the wind would reduce. Although I was aware that the last ferry over the river Avon was at 4pm. I couldn’t even be sure it was...

The weather has spoken I’m just walking between Salcombe and Bantham and the wind has really hit. The forecast is saying gusts of 50mph and I’m struggling to stay on my feet. The forecast is for Salcombe but I’m on top of the cliff so it might be more for me. They’re...
Two days to remember
Kingswear It was still quite dark when I started the walk towards Kingswear. I kept on forgetting the name and calling it Kings Landing in my head. I can’t really remember the details of the walk but I know that it was another good one. Continuing around headlands of...
Spirit Repaired
I’m sorry about the lack of post last night. I’ll write up the last two days tonight hopefully. Yesterday my tent broke, my boots were broken, and if I’m honest my spirit was as well. But, along came rescue. Now new boots, replacement tent, and some different gear and...
A day of several halves
Camping in the forest I knew it wasn’t the ideal spot but I’d put myself in the situation by being indecisive. Also not reading the map properly and realising that there were quite a few houses near where I decided to try after already finding a perfectly good camp. I...
Ferries do cheer you up
Over to Starcross After my hot chocolate and going to get some more supplies and cash, I headed over to the queuing point for the Starcross ferry. I don’t know why but I wasn’t optimistic that it’d be available to me but I needn’t have worried. After a while a couple...
