Day -38 : Last Mile : Newquay to Perranporth
21.04.2022: bright weather, not too cold, not too windy, good for the last stretch. Well, even if day -38 would not be the last day for anyone following my route, but it was the last day for me on purpose. 14 years ago we (my wife and by that time still young children) walked on …

Day -39 : Exporting figures and results : Porthcothan to Newquay
18.04.22: it was raining during the night before but was dry and even sunny when I started the walk from Porthcothan to Newquay – together with my daughter. These fancy gadgets like GPS watches and smartphones allows to track every meter you move. Wether forward, backward, up or down and even calculate the calories you …

Day -40 : Life in a van : Padstow to Porthcothan
17.04.22: it was dry during my walk from Padstow to Porthcothan, spells of sunshine and perfect for a hike Well, what did I expect? Walking around Padstow on Easter Sunday, around midday and nice weather – it was the opposite of some stretches I completed with maybe 1-2 dog walkers or hikers. It felt a …

Day -52 : Reunion : Minehead to Lynmouth
14.04.2022: Cloudy, dry and maybe warm (at least while walking) Today I ran the first and the last stretch of the SWCP – depending on which side you start. As I started in Poole at day „0“ and today is day -52 on the path, it took me 53 days in total. But actually I …
Day -51 : Gratitude & Satisfaction : Porlock to Lynmouth
13.04.2022: Interesting mixture of fog, clouds and sea mist. But again a day where I stayed dry. Well, the last miles are almost done and I feel a deep satisfaction that I decided to do the SWCP and almost finished it now. With laughing and crying eyes… all focused the recent weeks on the walk, …

Day -50 : Frugalism : Lynmouth to Combe Martin
12.04.2022: It was raining until the morning hours and stopped when I started my hike. Contactless! That is the way to pay in the UK. And paying contactless with a credit card was very common in the UK even before the Covid19 pandemic started. I really like paying with plastic and instantly see the money …

Day -49 : Take it easy : Combe Martin to Ilfracombe
11.04.2022: no rain, even if my app prognosed some rain this morning. Sunny but gusty. Well, today I cycled something like 7km and walked about 10km. Compared to my normal weekly activities this would be enormous. Compared to activities carried our the recent weeks this is more like a cheat day. Take it easy, after …

Day -48 : body : Ilfracombe to Saunton
10.04.2022: again I was blessed and enjoyed very good walking weather. Thank you But I also enjoyed my body. Why that? My feet are aching as I do have the blisters I tried to avoid (under the cornea). Neither the feet nor the body are going on strike so far and get my closer to …
Day -47 : Angst : Saunton to Instow
09.04.2022: Very comfy weather for a long walk. The German Angst. Just do it would have been right. But maybe it was better to make it a hard and difficult decision. I knew there were at least 10 miles of tarmac today, probably more. Total length was something like 20 miles / 32 km and …
Day -46 : Cheating : Instow to Bucks Cross
08.04.2022: A nice day for walking, acceptable wind, not too warm but not too cold. Fantastic. Well, I hate walking on tarmac roads with hiking boots especially on long distances. And I knew that these sections would come to walk around several estuaries. Instow to Bideford is an old railway track which is part of …
