Teignmouth

To be honest I barely knew Teignmouth was a place, but it's quite a pleasant town. Another stalemate between team ferry and team wetherspoons though, as it has both. In fact, the ferry I took fromLue lisää
Torquay

I'ma walkie Torquay. Which way is it to the Fawlty Towers hotel?
This journey is quickly degenerating into just number of ferries vs number of wetherspoons. Can actually draw quite a lot ofLue lisää
Paignton

Paignton was a good breakfast stop, feels a little tacky in places but overall, again, I'd say it's a nice place. Also the only other place in the world other than Poole with a Splashdown apparently?!
Pitch 13

I *forgot* to mark this last night, by which I mean decided not to until this morning. But I was camped on a golf course technically on the edge of a wooded area. I had been loitering at Churston coveLue lisää
Brixham

As soon as I waved off my parents, I met a really wholesome local elderly couple waiting for the ferry who were going off to get drunk in Kingswear. The other side of the ferry even they then waved meLue lisää
Dartmouth

Ain't no quim like to party like the quim down in Darty. And there's plenty of reason to party, this is the first place I've reached over 200 miles from Penzance station, and look who's here to meetLue lisää
Pitch 12

A really friendly local chap out walking his dog and fishing in the evening actually pointed me to this spot, it's lovely, even complete with my own bench. What more could you possibly askLue lisää
Blackpool

I know I've been walking north, but don't worry, I've ended up at the better Blackpool. There were plenty of little settlements along the way: Beesands, Torcross and Strete, but none of themLue lisää
Start Point

Not sure what this is meant to be the start point for but God this is an empty part of Devon. It's such a hot day, I'm absolutely sweltering too. I've met too many people since the last post toLue lisää
Pitch 11

So there I was at 17:30, with my half eaten box of ice lollies and lager, waddling towards the ferry to catch the last one of the day over to East Portlemouth. I just about made it in time and it wasLue lisää
Salcombe

Today has been absolutely incredible. The stretch from Bolt Tail to Bolt Head was so scenic and pretty easy walking. It is absolutely one of the highlights of the whole path, couldn't recommend it asLue lisää
Hope Cove

Been enjoying today so far, feels incredible to be well rested and clean as I only got going at 11. Had the funniest ferry experience yet trying to cross the Avon river, I had to ring a bell from theLue lisää
Pitch 10

So in spite of all that opportunistic nonsense I was just spouting I quite literally stumbled across this cheap campsite and I'm not saying no, especially as they said they don't mind what time ILue lisää
Bigbury-on-Sea

Bigbury-on-Sea or bust. Today was pure willpower, I could have waited until 8pm to cross the Erme Estuary at low tide, but even then, it was forecast to be a high low tide and the conditions areLue lisää
Mothecombe

In spite of the howling wind, I was completely knocked out the whole night. First action of the day took me to Wembury, where a marker indicated the first passing of the ⅔ point of the trail. I tookLue lisää
Pitch 9

I definitely could go further, but it's becoming increasingly urgent that I manage my feet, the last few days have seen the number of blisters and aches I've been getting multiply quickly, especiallyLue lisää
Plymouth

It's a tiny village you've probably never heard of it. If you found Looe having two Coops as startling as I did, then hearing that Plymouth has 30 Coops could well give you a stroke. It also happensLue lisää
Cremyll

So sleeping in a cave was about as comfortable as you'd imagine. Don't get me wrong, it was a top of the range cave but I don't think you'll be finding it on booking.com any time soon. And with thisLue lisää
Rame Head

Well this is the ideal place to shelter from the hostile conditions that are going to rain down for the next few hours, Queen Adelaide's Grotto. I'm incredibly tempted to stay here all night and makeLue lisää
Portwrinkle

Anyone want to guess how many ice lollies I've eaten this week so far?
Just sat and drank my tea for an hour with Neil Ingham, a 56 year old, millionaire underground DJ from London who's walking thisLue lisää
Downderry

Some days it can be really hard to find the strength to get going, other days start out with incredible highs. Today was definitely the former of the two, and until 10am I was certain that I'd makeLue lisää
Pitch 7

A campsite?! Bay view farm, probably time for the first wash of the trip. The woman running this place is completely nuts, she ranted at me about random things for like 15 minutes. Anyway time forLue lisää
Looe

Again, Looe is a very pretty town. It's split into west and east by its tidal inlet. Not much to say other than that my feet are feeling every step right now.
Edit: Looe has TWO Co-Ops?!??
Polperro

Scenic coastline, scenic weather, warm but with just enough breeze. But that was bloody hard work, it's to be expected with over 35,000 m of elevation gain hiking the entire path but damn there wereLue lisää
Fowey

Wow, Fowey is incredibly pretty, I feel like I am in Italy right now, there is even the sound of distant bells chiming. Probably my favourite village I've been through yet. My original plan last nightLue lisää
