Day 7 Bodmin to Harpur's Downs

 

The three of us set off from the Borough Arms Car Park this morning, back onto the Camel Trail.

 
       

Me and Alfie headed back after a couple of miles and Garry continued heading towards St Breward on the Camel Trail.

A short ice cream break for Garry in Wenfordbridge.

A pretty cottage and a pretty scary house (zoom into the windows and garden!)


Horse, gorse and sheep as the terrain got a bit more tricky, lots of scanning fields to find paths and the next stile. 


Garry added an extra 4 miles onto today's walk as it was a planned shortish one. He walked 11.6 miles today, and me and Alfie did a short 3.5 so Alfie could catch up with his missed sleep from yesterday!



The plan tomorrow is onto Davidstow airfield at Camelford and probably on a bit further.

  A month after our return, we look back at the perceived simplicity of life during the walk. Walking, eating, sleeping and enjoying our ever-changing surroundings.  Would we recommend it? You bet we would!

Day 86 Nybster to John o'Groats (The final day!)

                                                      Lands End to John o'Groats complete! Winding back to yesterday evening, Garry and I had a stroll around Wick harbour.        Much later in the evening, a surprise visitor, Will, arrived in Wick after 15 hours of train travel from London. I've never seen Garry so surprised! A later night than originally planned before the final walking day! This morning, I dropped Garry and Will at Nybster where they began walking northwards along the A99. Me and Alfie headed to park up at John o'Groats.       We met in John O'Groats village and walked together to Duncansby Head, which is the true north easterly point of mainland UK, with some incredible sea stacks. It was pretty windy there!        From Duncansby Head, we walked back towards John O'Groats vil...

One week to go...

We have one week to go before we start walking so we have started thinking about packing the essentials. Compead plasters and comfy worn in walking shoes has been the major advice. This week there have been doubts creeping in. 'Can we really do this?' However,  Garry spoke with his postie friends at cricket this week who have reassured him that a day's walking is all in a day's work for them, carrying a bag up to 10kg over their shoulder. So we're perfectly reassured now! We've had some walks these last few weeks with and without friends.            Also we've practised eating  some extra carbs (although I'm not sure cakes are the best sort of carb to be eating!   We welcome any more tips....
