WILDCAMP

Summer Solstice Wild Camp

Sunday 21 June 2015

The plan was straight forward enough. We would drive to Dartmoor. Walk out onto the moors. Set up camp and watch the sunset. In the morning we would wake up early and watch the sunrise on Summer Solstice.

Hartland to Bude

Saturday 26 May 2012

Everything that I had read told me that this was going to be a difficult day so I knew that this walk was going to be tough. It is rated ‘severe’ and I was adding an extra three miles to it.

Clovelly to Hartland Quay

Saturday 19 May 2012

Setting off early I managed to reach Hartland Quay just before 09:00 where I was able to park my car and then had to walk the three miles back to Hartland in order to catch the bus to the Clovelly Visitor Centre.

Ileft the car and walked along the road for twenty or thirty meters until reaching a wide green lane with a style. I had often driven past this lane but I have never walked up to it or along the path to the bridge that it leads to.

Clovelly to Westward Ho!

Saturday 12 May 2012

It had been a while since I had stopped at Westward Ho! and I was keen to tackle the next sections of the coast path as far as Bude but the remoteness of these sections and the lack of accommodation meant that I had to wait until the weather and public transport were both right.

Dart Valley Trail – Totnes to Dartmouth

Wednesday 28 March 2012

I am still trying to use up the last of my holiday entitlement so I thought I would walk somewhere different and a bit more local so after a quick search on the internet, I decided upon a 12-mile section of the Dart Valley Trail.

Petertavy Great Common

Friday 23 March 2012

Having parked at the car park above Whitchurch Common I walked up to Cox Tor to admire the views before crossing the saddle to Great Staple Tor. The weather was perfect for a walk on Dartmoor. The sun was shining but it was not too hot, and there was no wind or rain forecast for the day.

Iwalked this section with two friends and this meant that we had the luxury of having two cars. So meeting at Lynmouth we left a car there and drove to Porlock Weir in the other.
