Day 2
Bude
August 23, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Dopo una buona colazione partiamo per fermarci come prima tappa a Bude famosa soprattutto per le sue spiagge e per il suo litorale con altre scogliere dove facciamo una breve passeggiata guardando il mare. Bude è il primo paese della Cornovaglia (prima eravamo ancora nel Devon). Troviamo anche tre mazze di tamburo che purtroppo dobbiamo lasciare al loro posto.... Camminare qui è molto piacevole perché il terreno è molto morbido e si sprofonda nell'erba.Read more

Day 41
Kurz vor Bude
July 5, 2016 in England ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
Wenn Ihr auf das Datum achtet, erkennt Ihr, dass der 5. Juli ein ereignisreicher Tag war. Immerhin ließen sich 5 Einträge darüber machen.
Als ich abends in Bude ankam, war dies eine interessante Angelegenheit. Schließlich war ich Mal die erste Couchsurfing Erfahrung für jemand. Es war ein nettes älteres Pärchen. Nach diesem sehr kräftezehrenden Tag, unterhielten wir uns noch bis halb 12 abends :-)Read more

Bude

A very long day, 18 miles one of the toughest days on whole coastal path so long long and hilly. So much fog, terrible views.
Having cider for a change.

Upper Lynstone Camping

After crossing huge valley after huge valley, I managed to go even further than planned and somehow managed to wangle a campsite at 4pm on a bank holiday weekend. That marks the end of day 4 with 1340 metres of ascents/descents today and 110,000 steps over the past 3 days! Tired, but a good day!Read more
Traveler Are you in the campsite for a couple of days?

Bude to Crackington Haven
September 8, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
10 miles 24C

134 miles 7897m cumulative Ascent 25,912 fr

I said goodbye to my fellow walkers this morning. We’ve enjoyed each other’s company the last few days. Although, I’m pretty sure one of them is lying low from the law.
I decided to walk with a light pack and bus it back to Bude. I set off at 8am. There was a low sea mist all along the coastline but every now and then it cleared. This section was busy with day walkers and tourists on the path. I think that a number seriously underestimated the distance and how tough the path got.
The path was very pleasant to Widenouth Bay. The beaches were busy with surfers and retired folk walking their dogs.
I quickly made distance until I hit some BIG ascents and descents.
The sea mist kept me cool but the humidity was high.
As I approached my destination for the day, I was a stunning section called the Cleave. It was a thin precipice which was shrouded with sea mist on either side. It was amazing. I stopped for lunch on Castle Point before dropping into Crackington Haven.
I had just enough time for a quick soda water and lime before catching the bus back to Bude.Read more

Day 11
Morwenstow to Bude
September 7, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
7.5 miles 26C

The overnight stop at the Bush Inn was fantastic. Caught up with three other coast walkers who also pitched up at the pub. I had a second meal and a few pints before we all settled in for the night.
We were all up at 0615 and I was on the path for 7am.
It had rained overnight but all my kit was dry.
For the next two hours, I crossed some BIG headlands. They were truly stunning. I was happily motoring on with Van Morrison on my iPod. I could see two of the guys from last night just starting their descents into the coves as I was ascending on the other side. Yesterday and todays ascents were 1,271m.
The day was overcast and we had one brief cooling shower. Although, it was humid, you certainly could feel the heat building up.
I passed a huge radar/listening station that dominated the landscape.
By 1030, the two guys had caught up with me. Our energy levels were depleted but we were over the worse. We came upon a cafe and quickly demolished our full English breakfasts.
The headlands reduced in their severity which meant an easy walk into Bude.
The town is packed. We managed to find a small campsite on the outskirts of town.
After quick showers, we were all into town to find a laundrette because with this heat and effort, we pose a serious health risk to ourselves and the public.
The temperature continues to rise but early starts are the answerRead more
