As mentioned previously, the fitter (physically) member of the St Vincent Guest House team is currently walking the South West Coast Path and today, he has completed Devon! (Well, almost, we are saving the final Porlock to Lynton hurrah for the very end of the challenge.)
The stretch between Hartland Quay, via Morwenstow (where the less fit member stopped for a beautiful cup of coffee at the Rectory Farm Café en route) to Bude is described as challenging and strenuous. The scenery however is well worth the pain and anguish suffered, as can be seen from some snaps taken during the adventure of crossing counties.
Highlights according to Mike were: finishing, having a shower and lying on the settee nursing blisters. Seriously, the best views of North Devon and North Cornwall, crossing ten rivers in the process, can be seen on this walk and it really is birthday and Christmas for any geologist. Some of the formations are estimated to be around 318 million years old.
Was the pain worth it?Judge for yourselves 😊
