I forgot to resume Relive after Coombe Martin! oops.

FROM: Hunters Inn to Ilfracombe

The one with the snake, two forks and the bull!

DISTANCE:- 12 hard and challenging Devonshire miles!

HEALTH:- We are all still fairly healthy. No blisters on any feet, although we now all have calf muscles of steel and Tiger Balm has come in very handy!

WEATHER:- Today the wind has been relentless which can be scary on those cliff edges!

CAMPSITE: We got back to Ilfracombe late, our tents were still wet from the previous night so we are staying at the Imperial Hotel on the Seafront in Ilfracombe. It’s a classic hotel full of people of a certain age who are here on a coach trip.

SUMMARY:
We set off walking by 9am and the first section was a lovely forest stroll along the river. Then it went up and didn’t stop! The walk today was mainly on the headlands and cliff edges in very windy weather. All the horrible things seemed to happen to me today! The collie dog who barked and nearly pushed me over the edge, to nearly stepping on a python 🐍 (probably an Adder) who was basking in the sun! We finally arrived, 12 miles later in Ilfracombe where we are staying tonight.
