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 I leave tomorrow. Also interesting to note that today I passed at some point (but didn't see) Jim Morton, who is on day 424 of walking the entire British coastline in the opposite direction to me and I follow his Facebook page (called 'I may be gone a while')

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 the other side and wave to the boat house. The tide was looking so low I was fearing another long detour but sure as day, a man on a tiny boat came out to collect me. Weather is back to its best as well, I could just do with more ice cream....Læs mere

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 as a day walk (between Salcombe and Hope Cove) enough. Even had my favourite interaction with anyone (or anything) on the journey yet, a rather dashing cow. Now to kick back with another 8 twisters, a beer, 4 donuts and a baguette because why tf notLæs mere

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 was certainly the choppiest ride yet of the nine ferries the path has taken me on. For the rest of day, there was the pleasant wafting of freshly baked bread from my backpack too, maybe I'll do that more.

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 to mention them all but last night particularly was the most enjoyable, I met a couple from Southampton who were staying in a luxury hotel just above where I was camped and they shared their experience of hiking in Patagonia and Nepal with me. They even said what I was doing now is more hardcore than Nepal (not sure about that though!)Læs mere

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 them particularly noteworthy enough to smack down a footprint. Torcross to Strete involved walking a large part alongside Slapton Ley, which is supposedly the largest natural lake in the West country. Also supposedly from the nearby beaches is where much of the practice for D-Day took place. But ngl I'm just trying not to sizzle, it is seriously hard work in this weather; I'm now sheltered in a pretty nice café inhaling some chips.Læs mere

RejsendeSaw Jeremy Vine at Slapton once whilst he was on a mini holiday. Didn’t want to be weird and go up to him, but he was wearing a very dashing towel robe
11.06.2022Svar
Rejsendeyou know, I've always had an irrational hatred of Jeremy Vine, he definitely deserved to be disturbed. Looking forward to some more juicy stories from you in Torbay tho
11.06.2022Svar
RejsendeWhat's Jeremy Vine ever done to you? Did you get an application to Eggheads rejected?
12.06.2022Svar
RejsendeI can take egghead rejection, I guess it just means Jeremy Vine is the one who can't take a yolk

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 meet me for lunch! Had a really nice pit stop with the family, thanks mum and dad:). Dartmouth is also a lovely place, plenty of naval history and supposedly the port from which crusaders sailed to reclaim the holy land!Læs mere

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 me off! The path from there took plenty of ups and downs I'd describe as 'fun' but maybe they just caught me in a good mood. I met a real lad called Kieran hiking the whole path in the other direction and we sat on a bench and spoke for a good while. Then I dashed around Berry Head and I've arrived late in Brixham, which so far seems alright, definitely less horrible than Plymouth.Læs mere

RejsendeA very fair assessment of Brixham. Paignton spoons has little to offer other than damp, but the Green Ginger in TQ is pretty and has an outdoor balcony seating area (if you were to fancy a morning pint that is)

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 cove for a while; people had clearly camped there before but left lots of rubbish and I didn't particularly want the blame, so this was the next best bet. Absolutely the dodgiest pitch for sure so far though. Regardless, no-one knew I was ever there as it's an early morning start today. Also it was too dark to even take a tent pic so enjoy Brixham pics on a beautiful evening instead.

Edit: and a pic in the morning where I immediately discovered this ideal place to camp like 5 minutes away.🤦‍♂️

Yesterday was also the day I reached halfway to a million steps, could be tight trying to reach the full mill though😬
