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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It’s raining I woke up at around 4am to the sound of pouring rain. A bit confused initially as to where I was and then a little disappointed that I’d used a hotel. At least though I wouldn’t have to pack up in the rain be walking in it at 6am. Down to breakfast for...

A slight change of plan So I’ve ended up at a hotel. There are reasons for this. Some are probably pretty valid and others I think I’m making up to justify the decision. However, the decision was made and I’m now in a hotel room charging my internal battery and, as an...

Too many posts!! I’m just taking a break and decided to write a post. Hopefully that won’t be too confusing but as I’m getting on in years I notice that stuff I’m absolutely certain I won’t forget, no matter what, I forget. Making my way from Branscombe to Sidmouth...

Another wild camp I woke up at 6am and had not been moved on. I didn’t really relax for much of the night but I guess I’ll just get used to it in time. I was rewarded by the most spectacular views.  After packing up my kit I just sat on my chair and watching the sea...

The wild camp I didn’t pick the best spot but it was getting late and I was getting nervous. Half the tent was down a slope so the pitch was pretty poor. I didn’t sleep well either but that was mainly because it was too hot. The quilt I use is really good in cooler...
