South West Coastal Path 2015 Day 4


Friday 28th August 2015


I was disappointed that I did not get to walk through Watermouth harbour, as my route guide suggested I do, as the tide was in.   


Much of the day was very muddy walking, and every time I came across a stream I was washing the mud off my boots.


Welcome to HELL!  (actually Hele, oops)
In Ilfracombe I became very frustrated with the lack of route marking, and just guessed my way.  I mean, in the end I’m following a coast so, if I don’t see water for some time, I know I’ve gone the wrong way.






 I had been walking with my laces loosened, and my ankle felt fine so I tightened them up, but soon it was aching again, so I guess it is not quite right.


Rockham Beach (there's a wreck in there somewhere)




At Woolacombe I had to head off-trail, as my accommodation was inland at the Fortescue Arms.  A 40-minute walk later I found it.
