I woke at 7am and found I'd slept quite well, I seem to have slept right through! The tent was wringing wet from the rain and from condensation but, I was dry and so was my kit! I don't have a tent liner because it's added weight so in effect it's like a tarp. I … Continue reading Coast 14, Lulworth Ranges

Coast 13, Swanage to Kimmeridge
I took a train and a bus to get to Swanage. This is where I finished the last leg of the coast a couple of years ago. Is it that long? So I'm continuing and as a friend said, I'll be 100years old by the time I finish it! (If I finish it!) I'm trialling … Continue reading Coast 13, Swanage to Kimmeridge
Ben Nevis
Yesterday I walked up Ben Nevis and ticked another goal off my ever lengthening list! I've been practicing as much as I can living in an area without Mountains. Also when I first planned to do this, my knee was painful and decidedly dodgy. I will give my physio a plug here because I've managed … Continue reading Ben Nevis
Spain Again 7, El Fuerte
The next walk of note was my second attempt at El Fuerte, a small mountain behind Frigliana. I tried initially to walk this with Alison, Carl and Ethan and Ellie inthe fist week. I don't know what was going on with me that day because I felt so unfit, out of breath and downright weird. … Continue reading Spain Again 7, El Fuerte
Spain Again 5, Finca Walks and Acebuchal
We had a few shorter walks around the Fincas and coast but not the precipitous walk that scared me.. A Finca is a bit like a croft as far as I can see. A plot of agricultural land with a house. Here in Andalusia it is dotted with them up the sides of hills and … Continue reading Spain Again 5, Finca Walks and Acebuchal

Coast 12 – The Nudist
I didnt sleep that well, I woke once or twice in the night, I looked out once to see stars and then was woken at around 6 by a dozy Bumble Bee bashing the side of the tent! I had my breakfast that consisted of a cereal bar and water, enough to get going with.I … Continue reading Coast 12 – The Nudist
Coast 10 – I survived my first Wild Camp!
I did actually sleep and probably more than I thought. The only thing to molested me was a molusc judging by the snail trail on my sleeping bag, Im just glad it didn't get on my face! I wasnt cold, I was probably too warm and could have taken lighter sleeping bag or removed my … Continue reading Coast 10 – I survived my first Wild Camp!
Pembrokeshire Day, The Bitches!
Day two we headed for St Davids. Neither of us had any idea what it woukd be like, the campsite owner had recommended it to us.It looked picturesque as we drove through it, noting the pasty shop for later and headed for the coast. I think she had intended for us to go to White … Continue reading Pembrokeshire Day, The Bitches!
