Launceston Y ou'd have thought that not having to worry about a long day's walk or having to get up early I'd have had a good night's sleep last night wouldn't you? Nothing could be further from the truth. I made sure that I stayed up later last...

Launceston to Lydford A fter the rather splendid, if not rather huge, cod and chips on my first evening in Launceston last night I decided that, as there wasn't a great deal else food-wise going on in the place, I'd head back to Launceston Fryers...

Lydford to Whiddon Down B efore I start I think I'd better just warn Sarah that if she's reading this out to the girls, she may well need to skip or paraphrase this first part of today's posting. So, the complete twats from last night didn't get...

Whiddon Down to Crediton Y ou would have thought that being so tired after not much sleep the night before I would have just dropped off straight away last night wouldn't you? Nope, not at all. I ended up sitting all the way through Top Gun on...

Crediton to Tiverton T he Taw Vale B & B was a lovely place, set in a grandiose building with nice high ceilings and a lot of the original features still in place, including the bell rings in the rooms. I never tried them though. Once I'd had a...

Tiverton to Greenham I struggled again to get off to sleep last night, even though I was completely and utterly exhausted by the time I'd reached the Best Western hotel in Tiverton. What will it take for me to actually fall asleep at a reasonable...

Greenham to Taunton I actually managed to have an ok sleep last night. That being said I still woke up tired; the upcoming day's rest will be very welcome I can tell you! I didn't rush around this morning and had a nice relaxed breakfast, looking...

Taunton I t actually ended up being quite a late night last night by the time I'd eventually got the day's activities updated on the site. One reason for this was the fact that I had a good chat with a few people on the phone last night, the...

Taunton to Street K nowing I had a long day ahead of me I was up and about early this morning, even before my alarm went off at 7am. All packed I was sat eating break by 7:30am, unfortunately it wasn't the best breakfast I've had on this little...

Street to Binegar A fter the late posting last night I managed my typical five hours sleep before waking up. I did however manage to doze a little bit afterwards so that was good as I wasn't in the mood for rushing around after yesterday's efforts!...

Binegar to Bath T he time spent at the Horse and Jockey was a tonic to my mood yesterday. When I went back for dinner and some drinks it was great just to sit and shoot the breeze, it just eased the mood away. Well, I suppose a few pints of...

Bath A s it goes, I didn't sleep too badly on the make-shift bed last night, certainly not any worse than any night so far on this walk. Yes, I woke up early but a lot of the aches and pains had gone by the time I started to potter around. My feet...
