    LEJOG DAY 12

    18. april 2023, England ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    ToClaptonof Gordano. 21.4 miles. 238.4miles

    Photo of last night’s sunset. A dull start from Weston super Mare on a route not many would take - but actually very good and swift along a cycleway. Met by Colin and Finn for tea and Hotxbuns. Then onwards on paths through fields avoiding dykes, along by the M5 and onwards to Clevedon. Stop for butties then up onto the hill above. Past Cadbury Camp( an iron age fort - no chocolate) and down to Clapton in Gordana with the lovely old Black Horse for cider. First view of the Severn Bridges- quite emotional.Les mer

    16. april 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    19.5m to Bridgwater. An overcast day but good walking. Muddy paths and roads but good going. Almost got stuck at some dykes on Somerset Levels but slithered down and across. We’re getting used to Sunday am Greggs- Taunton this time. Very nice too!
    Met by the ever faithful Majji bus and Colin in a wee village for hotxbuns- still on these! Stopped at Bridgwater, some cider and chips. Drove to the coast for the evening and parking up spot. Lovely. Finn delighted with the millions of pebbles.    Les mer

    23.4 miles bringing us up to 178.5m total. Finally some heat - but my feet seem to prefer cool! From Bickleigh to Bradford on Tone near Wellington. Now in Somerset. Walked along the Grand Western Canal that has been refound. Stopped at a lovely coffee and cake stop

    More people walking than we’ve seen. Then lots of mud too. A couple of great fluid and food stops courtesy of Colin and we made it to Bradford. Parked up at Sheppy’s cider place. Wonderful.    Les mer

    LEJOG DAY 8

    14. april 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    21.3 miles. Another wet start. Rain remaining till midday😟. But with Colin’s great support, with crumpets and tea we trundled on. Chatted to a friendly chap with knowledge of horse racing in Crediton, who donated. Then onwards to Thorverton. Decided we had enough energy to go up and over to Bickleigh by the raging River Exe. A lot of Road plodding again but remarkably ok.Les mer

    Day7 LEJOG

    13. april 2023, England ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    Some early rain but ended in glorious sun. Almost warm! Walked on edge of Dartmore, Tarka trail,Devon Way ,Granite way and more - but still quite a bit of tarmac. Our locked footpath of the day was a flooded underpass meaning a 3/4 mile extra 😟Met a lovely Devon man clearing drains and 2 amazing ladies in the Spreyton community shop. A lovely pint ofDevon cider in the pub. Pasties and Tunnock’s still powering us along too.Les mer

    Day 6 LEJOG to Bridestowe

    12. april 2023, England ⋅ 🌬 6 °C

    Storm Noah ensured a wet and windy day with added sleet and hail. At least it was at the back of us mostly. Launceston was a nice old town ( up a hill!) and a pastie shop. Passed the 100miles and left Cornwall behind. More lanes and muddy paths and ended at pub in Bridestowe. 19.4 miles and 7 or so ahead of schedule.Les mer

    One day to go..

    6. april 2023, England ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    This really seems to be happening. We’re travelling south on way to pick up Helen then onto Land’s End. Who’s idea was it to start on Good Friday? I think it was to reduce the risk of midges in Scotland 🤔. First traffic jam hitLes mer
