Monday 17th May 2021 This morning Jill misread her watch and so we started getting up soon after 6am which was no bad thing since we had to get a bus at 07:52. Fortunately the bus stops just a few yards from the flat where we are staying. Being a Monday there were more passengersContinue reading “Day 91 – Polperro to Lower Porthpean 20.2 miles 4150′ ascent”

Day 90 – Wiggle Cliffs to Polperro 20 miles, 4100′ ascent
Sunday 16th May 2021 We used the same taxi driver as last night to take us back to Wiggle Cliffs and we were walking by 8:45. Today we were in full waterproofs from the start. The weather forecast was for heavy rain brought in on strong winds. Actually it had also suggested thunder storms. AsContinue reading “Day 90 – Wiggle Cliffs to Polperro 20 miles, 4100′ ascent”
Day 89 – Wembury to Wiggle 19.8 miles, 3480′ ascent
Sat 15th May 2021 Our flat in Liskeard is very nice and makes for easy living. It is also extremely convenient for both bus and train journeys being just 100 yards from Liskeard station. This morning we caught the 8:08am train back to Plymouth. From Plymouth we took a taxi to Wembury. Last night weContinue reading “Day 89 – Wembury to Wiggle 19.8 miles, 3480′ ascent”
Day 88 – Noss Mayo to Wembury 3.9 miles (no ascent).
Friday 14th May 2021 Today we set off on Leg 10 of our walk around the coast of Britain. We had to drive from home in North Yorkshire to Liskeard where we have rented a flat for the week. Covid restrictions still mean that only self-contained holiday accommodation can be used. It was a longContinue reading “Day 88 – Noss Mayo to Wembury 3.9 miles (no ascent).”
Day 87 – Bolberry Down to The Warren (near Noss Mayo) 19.6 miles 3671′ of ascent
Wednesday 27th April 2021 This morning showed a change in the weather. There was a dull, cloudy sky and it felt very cold without any sunshine.

As I explained in a previous posting, Jill and I had independentlyContinue reading “Day 87 – Bolberry Down to The Warren (near Noss Mayo) 19.6 miles 3671′ of ascent”
Day 86 – Torcross to Bolberry Down 20.2 miles 4915′ ascent
Tuesday 27th April 2021 Another clear fine day greeted us as we drove back to Torcross. We had hatched a plan overnight. In fact we had each hatched identical plans; what a boring couple we have become. Since we have managed to exceed our daily planned distances by a couple of miles each day overContinue reading “Day 86 – Torcross to Bolberry Down 20.2 miles 4915′ ascent”
Day 85 – Brixham to Torcross 22 miles 5046′ of ascent.
Monday 26th April 2021 We drove to Brixham and managed to find a free parking space on a rather steep hill. We walked down to the quay to pick up from where we finished last night. It was a very cold and rather windy morning and in contrast to the other days we needed sweatersContinue reading “Day 85 – Brixham to Torcross 22 miles 5046′ of ascent.”
Day 84 – Teignmouth to Brixham 21 miles 4554′ of ascent
Sunday 25th April 2021 Today was a real contrast to yesterday. No, it didn’t rain – it was yet another sunny if very windy day, but the walking was much more enjoyable. Trains don’t run until mid-morning on a Sunday in these rural parts so we walked a long mile from the flat to aContinue reading “Day 84 – Teignmouth to Brixham 21 miles 4554′ of ascent”
Day 83 – Budleigh Salterton to Teignmouth 19.5miles 1900′ of ascent.
Saturday 24th April 2021 Needless to say today was another bright, sunny day though the wind had got up overnight and there were some strong gusts. The wind continued to strengthen through the day. We took a train from Torre to Exmouth and then a bus to Budleigh Salterton. We were walking by before 10.00.Continue reading “Day 83 – Budleigh Salterton to Teignmouth 19.5miles 1900′ of ascent.”
Day 82 Seaton to Budleigh Salterton 18.5 miles 4104′ of ascent
Friday 23rd April 2021 Today we were changing location for the next six days so we had to clear out of Laurel Cottage and load the car before the hour’s drive to Seaton to resume our walk. I had researched parking in Seaton on-line and only found the town long stay car park. Having noticedContinue reading “Day 82 Seaton to Budleigh Salterton 18.5 miles 4104′ of ascent”
