Hi, I've had an enjoyable time reading posts on this forum, but think it's about time I introduced myself.
I live in North Devon and try to get out for a walk as much as i can - I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the walking on my immediate doorstep (need to walk along some quite busy roads and oddly not a large amount of off road walking to be had, and I like a bit of mixed surfaces under my shoes)- though I am partial to a bit of the south west coast path from time to time. I've recently discovered a bus that will take me to the Okehampton area of Dartmoor - so when time and and injury from walking part of the Camino Frances in April allow, I've made some tentative trips out that way. Not being a driver getting around can be interesting, especially as i never seem to manage to time the end of my walk right and usually have a nice long wait for the next bus. On the plus side exercising my patience is beginning to pay off, either that or I am mellowing with age
At the moment I am part way through walking the Two Castles trail between Okehampton and Launceston and planning to follow the Tarka Trail from Landkey to Lynton.
Most of the time I walk alone, so I am glad this forum exists so I can share in other people's experiences and in time share my own.
