Is it bad to admit that I considered stealing water from a dog's bowl earlier?

Met some incredible people on that last stretch, including (you guessed it) a German couple, who actually walked the exact paths I'm planning to walk in Slovenia, a Canadian couple, and a couple of 79 & 72 year olds who are walking the entire coast path in one go. Also I fell into a bush but never mind about that.

So hear me out here, is this the worst idea I've ever had? Yes, easily, but personally I didn't see another option. I'm pitched in Bosahan cove on the beach, and I have checked the tide times so hopefully I can get away with it. The pic blur really reflects my mental exhaustion. That was the most ridiculous day of walking I've ever experienced, I have no idea how (or why) my legs carried me so far, I'm slightly worried I might wake up paralysed or something

Morning update: not paralysed!

Just waiting at the ferry crossing to hitch a ride across Helford river, but it doesn't run until 9:30 am, it's the first of three ferries on route today. Got talking to a charming old chap called Trevor Lee who was sat by the crossing too, turns out he is waiting for the signal to start his section of a relay run across the south west coast path! He said 60 runners are trying to break the record and run the whole path nonstop in 5 days, and his section starts in about ten minutes. He also records a podcast while running and wrote a book about his experience of running 44 miles aged 60, pretty coolMeer informatie

Wetherspoons! The pilgrimage is complete, don't think I've ever worked so hard for a pizza but hell I'm going to knock back a few and demolish some food after yesterday. Also be good to hide from the sun for a couple of hours because it's hot af. The ferry crossing earlier was pretty dodgy, there were 4 bikes, 7 people and 2 huge bags all squished onto a tiny boatMeer informatie

Could be a wet one with a thunderstorm due in over night, I'll see how soaked my undies are in the morning. This is a tactical pitch though because I can always go back to Portscatho and find some sort of shelter if things get really bad. It's been a solid day, nothing overly mad, will probably stick out in my memory as that day with all the ferries and where I ate too much at wetherspoons. One note I have to make so far is how good a purchase my solar charger continues to be, I half didn't expect it to actually work but so far I've gone four days on one power bank, recharging it while walking, and it's been pretty reliable.
