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.Leia mais

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.Leia mais

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.Leia mais

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.Leia mais

Good night at the coast and back to our estuary to walk. England Coastal path along flood defences. Dreich then drizzly but good walking. Met Colin and Finn and onto Burnham on sea where Majji bus was waiting with pasties, tea and hotxbuns. Onwards along the beach for 6 miles to Brean. Past a very unusual lighthouse. Quick refreshment stop and on to Weston Super Mare. Parked up above WSM with lovely views and brighter skies.Leia mais

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.Leia mais

Wonderful night in pub last night. Quiz night again - and we won £90 and we’re given another £10 for our charities.
Wee lanes by side of M5, where a BMW was close to taking us out at speed. Thankfully Finn wasn’t with us. Then over the Avonmouth bridge. A great greasy spoon - the Scran Van - for a superb egg and mushroom roll - huge! Then heads down and along the industrial estates to the Severn Bridge. Encountered a route change- badly signed - and a wee ‘encounter’. Survived unscathed. Over the Severn Bridge ( at pace for Helen!) and onwards to Chepstow castle. A real milestone for us. Into Wales, briefly.
259.6miles done.Leia mais

22.5 miles. 300ml total😊. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿&🇬🇧today. Set off on a dreich morning again. Waterproofs on all day. Shame as the views over Herefordshire and back to Monmouth would have been good 😟 . Good paths up and down, but few stopping places. Quick bite in rain and onwards to Axe and Cleaver for lunch to escape the rain. And very nice too. Owners and customers donated. Many thanks. Onwards on a great series of tracks going due north brought us into Hereford. Finished at my Uncle Geoff and Jean’s for a great cup of tea and cakes.Leia mais

14.4 miles. 314.4miles. A very misty and muddy walk today. Cold too. We were on the Three Choirs Way - but very sparsely signed and rarely walked. But good walking all the same. Cleared and warmed towards the end. Past a grumpy lama. We’re doing smaller miles the next few days as we are a day ahead 😊and staying at Helen’s house. So chance for Helen to be a proper wife and mother- as well as walk. We had the pleasure of Lady and Flash’s company today. Good dogs. It’s of stiles to be lifted over.Leia mais
