It was Maggie with a group of friends,
I had met Maggie three days ago while I was having a pub lunch in Clovelly.
I continued round to Bull Point then dropped steeply down into Lee then straight back up the other side, the weather had gradually cooled and clouded over with the threat of rain and I needed my jacket on again
Ilfracombe |
Cliffs at Ilfracombe |
There was still spots of rain but the wind had dropped and I reached Little Meadow campsite, just past Widemouth, at 18:00 where I ended the day.
My right foot had been sore all day, a couple of lengthy breaks helped. It turned out to be blister no 3, so on with another plaster.
It's supposed to be tough going again the next 2 days, people I meet with guide books say it is another stretch described as very severe.
20 miles done today, 3 days until the end of Stage 1.
213 miles completed
