Hello

I've just got back from Salcombe. A great week and some unseasonal hot sun which seems a million miles away from the the floods around the country. Sending all good luck and best wishes to everyone affected.









Soar Mill Cove







View from Goat Rock

I did one walk of note in the week from Salcombe to Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island which is 13 miles. I took about 4 and a half hours which is a good gauge of what I can expect generally on the walk. A couple of tough climbs and I also had to ford the river at Bantham because the ferry had yet to start running. So I know that I can do that. All good research and knowledge for later.

Here are some photos along the route.

best for now

actual real south west coast path training

I'm off the Salcombe in Devon for the next week. Going to be doing some training on parts of the walk. Probably head from Salcombe around to Burgh Island and then perhpas the other direction towards Start Point.

Should be fun.

Had the Surrey Advertiser round yesterday taking photo's for an article they are doing on the walk.

Should be even more fun.

hope all is well

best for now

promo gig for walk

training updates

Well the walk is the reason I do this thing. Though to be truthful I've had a complete rest for a week and a troublesome bruised rib has meant strenous excercise is best left alone. Probably a good thing as I have been over-doing it a bit recently.

The last walk I did was from my brother's flat in the heart of Brigthon up to the Devil's Dyke n back. So I think that was about 12 miles all told. All Brightonians will know Southover Street and I also climbed to my brother's flat which is on the 13th floor of a block of flats. So that was all good. Sounds quite boring when yo write it down.

The Friday before I walked from my house across to Bramley and down the Downs Link as far I could go towards Brighton. I got as far as Partride Green before chafing mainly and jelly legs forced me to stop. My brother reckoned that was 30 miles so I was chuffed about that.

The break has been good but I'm itching to keep up the training.

Anybody got any good tips about chafing. Any thoughts please post or email me.

keep on truckin'

gig updates

Well it's over a month since I last posted and no mistake. Not sure why and this isn't going to turn into a blogger meander so. I have confirmed three acts for the promotional gig at the Anchor Pub. This is happening on the 4 August at said pub which on the Ockford Road heading towards Milford.

First up there is Solarspy. Five piece rock band one member of which is the son of my gp so there you go. I play tennis with another member's dad. Check out there myspace page to hear what s what.

Secondly, Teleute. An old friend from my days in Brighton. Electronics whether laptopped or via vinyl we shall have to see but it provides some good variety.

Jonny Wills is the third addition. A singer/songwriter of the classic tradition, I used to play keyboards in one of his bands. But here he should be in full solo effect. Maybe his alter-ego DJ Suave will be manning the ones and twos for a little session.

Plus we have deejays from far and wide including thr solid gold mobile discotheque, kbps fm and burnt clay. All local bods playing a mixture of pop classics, reggae, soul, funk, hip-hop and electronic beat.

As detailed below the music runs til 12 and there are drinks til 1 a.m. Remember smoking must be done outside. All locals of the Anchor are welcome as this is an open house event. Come on down.
