greetings from the south west coast path



Hello

Here is the walk in postcard form. A few are missing but will add to them later. I'm going to turn this into a tea towel.

cheers

treloan campsite

Dear reader,

I have briefly touched on my stay at the Treloan Camp site. I have included an image of a fairly battered leaflet that the owner Victor gave me. I just wanted to reiterate the friendlyness of the welcome and the endless cups of tea that Victor offered. We also had some fun taking part in the pub quiz up the road on the Sunday evening at the end of my last rest day in Portscatho. Great fun.

I didn't find his shire horse so that is up to you.

Thanks Victor.

Hello.

I tried to keep the tags that campsites gave you to pin to your tent. Here are three of the least damaged.

Hi there...slowly adding more pictures and memories of the walk. Here are the two guide books that I used getting round. Indispensible in my mind and highly recommended.

58 days in....

Dear Reader

I've finished. If you are inclined get out there.

Had the worst days weather to cross the line, wind and rain battered us round old harry rocks. I walked the last stretch with Forster and Jane, a couple from Australia who were doing the whole thing like me. I have to thank them for keeping me going on the long walk from Lulworth Cove to Swanage on the Saturday. That is a really beautiful walk amazing climbs, geology, bird life. But a long walk and no chance of a cup of tea anywhere.

Will be putting my diary of the walk up here slowly and some photos. Lost me bleedin' camera like a darn fool in Weymouth. Hoping for a personal appeal on South West TV, maaaayyybeee. Anyway got a few on my phone and Ruth, Forster and Jane will send me some over time.

thanks for listening

David
