An alarm was going off on the reception building so I poked my head out of my tent to see what was going on. Selfishly I was wondering if it was on fire because my battery bank was in there and I didn’t want to lose it. Fortunately it was just a burglar alarm,...

An amazing side to walking the path is that you find, and see, places that other people don’t get to. I find it fascinating that, for example, the beach at Perranporth is absolutely rammed with people, but I get to walk around a headland here and see several isolated...

I got caught out once. It was after my Grandma died. She was, I think, 83 years old and had been suffering quite badly with a form of dementia. It was pretty tough for my parents in those last few years who were trying to help her by putting various things in place,...

I’m not sure the moon actually woke me up. Maybe it was because the tide was in, and the sea quite noisy, but something woke me up. It must have been about 2 o’clock in the morning and I noticed how bright it seemed outside, so I decided to take a look. The scene,...

I met someone today who’d walked the coastal path in the same way I want to. In one go, camping, and carrying all their own kit. I think it’s great that people are so keen to do the walk, in any way they see fit, but it’s nice to talk to someone who’s done the same...

At the third time of trying I finally managed to correctly follow the coastal path through Beesands. It’s not a massive difference to the overall distance but it was certainly satisfying. Even though it is signed it just doesn’t look like there is a path that way....

It’s been a funny day today. So much has gone well but I have been a little grumpy. Just worried about a few bits and bobs. Power is my biggest concern. One battery bank is totally empty and the other is at 50%. When trying to calm myself down I was thinking, well,...

Today has been more about people than walking. Its filled me with delight, but also made me feel sad and powerless. Made me think I should be doing more. I’ve definitely seen the best in people. But I’ve also seen people who are struggling, with addiction, with their...

Well this was the day when I could have thrown in the towel. It was as simple as, can I walk, or can’t I. My Dad cautioned me about doing myself permanent injury, which was good advice, so I wouldn’t have carried on if I’d needed anything stronger than a knee support...

Today took me from my camping spot overlooking Sea Town, over the Golden Cap, into Charmouth. Then onto Lyme Regis, through a forest to Seaton and then finally onto a campsite slightly inland after Branscombe Bay. It was a good day although slightly marred at the end...
