10 days in....

Hello

Internet access is a bit sporadic on the walk so this is the first time I have been able to add anything about the walk.

Been walking/resting for 10 days now and I am in Westward Ho. Pleased with progess as the first four stages of the walk wome of the hardest apparently. Almost bailed out completely after two days and weather was pretty bad, windy and wet and was done in by the steep climbs that kept on appearing.

But have made it this far and though very hard has been extremely rewarding. Walk from Lynton to Combe Martin has been the highlight so far with climbs at Woody Bar, Heedons Mouth and The Great Hangman still resonating in the feet and legs. Some amazing scenary. Great spots to view all the wildlife and wild flowers.

Did a couple of days walking with Ruth who I met just outside Minehead and have been following the same schedule. Though she has moved on ahead now.

Had to buy a new tent.

will try to add some photos soon

hope all is well whereever you are

best for now

Dave

Hi Dave, sounds like you're going well. I wish I had been there to share the walk around the River Lyn and Woody Bay. Rog
