Day 14 Simonsbath to Luccombe

Today we had a late start. Breakfast at 9am then off to the cafe in Simonsbath to stock up on food for today, as we will not pass anywhere to get food today. The weather was much better than yesterday. We got a few rain showers in the morning, some of them heavy, but then by the afternoon they had cleared. Today was real moor walking. Through bog and across marsh. We had to test the ground with our walking sticks to ensure we didn’t end up neck deep in the bog. The views though were well worth it. When we reached Dunkery beacon we had views out to Wales across the Bristol Channel. We also got a clear view of Western-Super-Mare. Combined with the views across Exmoor it was pretty amazing and worth the climb up there. Tonight we are camping at Porlock Vale camp a real off grid campsite, so quiet and lovely and the sun is currently shining. What more could we want.
PS John says, What more could you want? All i got was moor, moors, and more moors today John says a proper bed and a beer would do.Read more
