My last section on the South West Coastal path

I've been meaning to finish my coastal walk since in April. Originally I started in my own locality in Dorset, Poole and made it along the coastal path to Exeter. At that point I wasn't enthused with the thought of walking the urban stretch around Torbay so started again at the end of the path at Minehead in North Cornwall and walked the North Devon and Cornish coast to finish again in Devon, this time on the south coast. In April we did a stretch between Plymouth and Salcombe spending the weekend in a cottage at East Prawle near the coast.

Now I'm heading off to "fill in the gap" so as to speak and get the Heritage Coastal bus to Exeter and then walk over five days to Salcombe. I intend taking a bed & breakfast for the first night and then camp the rest (depending of course on the weather). Talking of which, temperatures are predicted to be around 18-20 C with a possibility of showers at the beginning of the week and then clearing later, so not bad for this time of year. Although the section is mostly urban to start with, I'm told it does become scenic and wilder past Brixham. Helen is planning to meet me on Saturday near Slapton to walk the last day or go on to meet me at the end at Salcombe. So here we go, the end at last.....
