This is the first year we haven't been abroad for 40 odd years, instead we decided on walking the coastal footpaths in the UK.
After 56 nights away we can report on lots of wind some rain, even some days where it was actually hot, and approx 350 miles covered on coastal footpaths, in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Gower, Pembrookshire, Yorkshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lleyn Penninsular, Lytham/Blackpool togther with getting lost on Dartmoor plus short walks in the Cotswolds and Yorkshire Dales.
We decided to get a wallmap and mark in our walks, we thought that we had done quite a lot, but boy have we got a lot to do to even make an impression on the map.
Some of the best memories are just leaning over to switch on the kettle and have tea and biscuits in bed most mornings. Walking in horizontal rain along the beach between Cromer and Sheringham where, on reaching a cafe at Sheringham, they loaned us dry clothes, even though we only bought cake and coffees.Having Coast Guards shout to tell us to get to hell off the cliffs near Padstow as the winds were blowing at Gale Force 10. Sitting back and enjoying either a gin and tonic or glass of wine on the few balmy evenings we enjoyed at Aberdaron.
All in all one of the best summers we have had since returning to the UK, thanks to our very small motorhome and lots of friendly people.
OOPs Now realize we put this in the wrong spot, not sure how we got into "Fancy Meeting Up" sorry about that!!
