Very early next morning I am surprised to see people already up exploring the rock pools of Lee Bay.

Putsborough Sands to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe to Lee Bay 26.7.19
Putsborough Sands is yet another long stretch of golden sand with an award winning beach cafe. An environmentally conscious affair, the food is presented in cardboard trays with wooden cutlery.
Continue readingVelator to Putsborough 25.7.19
The logistics of these walks are complicated. To make my walking life easier I try to winnow out things from my rucksack that I will not be needing during the day, leave them wherever I will be staying that evening and then walk back to where I started.

Back to the land of red telephones that actually work – not only one but two……..albeit tagged.

Clovelly has worked its charm on me and I cannot stop taking pictures.

Walking down the lane from Horns Cross towards the coast we meet the pink cottage again and it’s still empty. Like so many beautiful houses in Devon and Cornwall this is a summer let or holiday home.

Gone are the days when I could just set off for a quick walk in Kent or Sussex – North Cornwall, with its dearth of public transport is a long long way from London. Anyway, we arrive in Crackington Haven in the middle of the day, leave the car in the car park and after a cream tea top up, set off up the cliff path.
Continue readingSevern View to Portishead 21.4.19
From the infamous Severn Bridge we follow a cycle route heading south and we have PLENTY of water. Coming down a hill onto a long straight stretch of coast road we walk past some wonderful metal garden ornaments.
