Walking in the Devon Mists



I am back in training again for my "Big Walk" from Helston to Crediton  (110 miles) which is part of my walk 1200 mile walk from Lands End to John O Groats. My training route involved a hilly walk from Seaton to Sidbury through the rolling hills of Devon. It is easy to forget how remote some of the Devon countryside is and  you see very few people when you get out into the wilder areas. The day was grey, misty and foggy, towards the sea and over the hills. After weeks of rain the cold easterly wind had eventually dried out the muddy paths and walking was pleasant but distinctly chilly .I met a stoat running down the road and he jumped into the hedge just as he reached me. Two Buzzards took off from hedges close to me as I headed down through the woods and lanes to Sidbury. After four hours of walking it was time for a well deserved lunch at the Blue Ball pub.
