South West Coast Path |
| 1997: Minehead to Combe Martin • 1998 • 1999 • 2000 • 2001 • 2002 • 2003 • 2004 |
What we did: This was our learning curve - and like Minehead's North Hill it was steep. The original plan, lovingly drawn out on a map on the wall at home for months in advance, involved a two-week blast down to Tintagel, camping on many nights. Reality bit early, and the hastily rearranged plan covered the 35 miles of the Exmoor coast in four days that pushed us as hard as we wanted to be pushed.
