Bude

 With great regret I have decided not to aim for John o Groats . Yesterday the walk from Boscastle to Bude  was extremely hard . There was hill after hill I was not enjoying it with the weight of my back pac.





This was just a couple of them. As in the movie Dirty Harry Clint Eastwood pointed a colt 45 to a guys head and said every man should know his limitation well I agree now I know mine. I accept my failings and move on. So I have decided to bus to Exeter and train ride to Bath have a night or two there then walk the Cotswold way. This walk is suppose to be a bit more forgiving. Cornwall is beautiful I walked most of the walk I guess I just did not prepare myself as much as I should. My biggest draw back is the weight of my rucksack it feels ok on the flat but climbing hill that is more like mountain climbing than trail walking is another thing. I still intend to do a blog of my travels sorry about John o Groats but my health comes first. Thank you to all who donated towards my charity. Love you all x

 I have finally decided hiking sux . Yesterday was a trying day to say the least . It started off in Bath trying to work out where the actual walk started. After a couple of attempts following my OS maps I decided to ask some one. You would think that locals would have a bit of an idea well after about the seventh person I finally met a nice old gentleman who told me follow Landsdowne road to the end he did mention it was a bit hilly. Well I would like to nominate it for the longest hill in the UK it just went on and on steep also at one stage I thought I may need oxygen. When i finally found the start of the yellow brick road off I went . Through some boring field edges then it got a bit more interesting. I came across the site of the Battle of lands down that took place in 1643.  The area where this bloody battle took place .So after passing this historic site I went on my merry way over fields stone walls etc. Then I went down this field and there was a bunch of cows all gathered ar

Now at a place called ST Agnes staying the night at an old pub I walked from Portreath . Not that far just around 15 kl feet and legs a bit sore so taking it easy. Met a really nice South African woman and told her I could not source walking poles any where so she gave me hers very kind of her. Seems to make walking a bit easier.  Just a run down of where I’ve been  Started at lands end to Pendeen stayed there camping behind a pub for the night.Then

 To be honest this is the toughest thing I have ever attempted. I am now at Boscastle I was lucky to get booked for two nights at a great YHA .  Tomorrow I set off to Bude my feet are feeling a bit better but I will try battle on. Boscastle is a interesting cute little village. It has a tideal harbour area where you can see the ocean tidal surge coming through to eventually fill the harbour. It looks spectacular with raging torrents and blow holes in the rocks. I went to the witchcraft museum to pass a bit of time and cut down on walking it was quite interesting  Amazing what they use to think a few years ago. But whoooo knows😊
