South West Coast Path
In 1997 we shouldered our rucksacks for the first time and set off on a journey into the unknown. We’d walked the North Norfolk Coast Path, but that was flat and easy. The South West was a different matter altogether. Each year has offered different challenges – severe valleys, meandering inland detours, driving rain, occasionally just finding the time to visit the south west was a challenge in itself. Each year we finish, look at each other, conclude that we need our heads examining – and immediately start planning the next year’s walk.
