I've just finished the last half of the Two Moors Way, 4 nights camping, 3 full days of walking. Got off the train at Morchard Raod, strolled up to Morchard Bishop, camped behind the pub. My plan was to walk to Witheridge then decide what to do next, arrived around midday, had coffee and cake in the Art Cafe and then, it was a nice day so I just strolled on. It was one of those days when I could have walked from dawn to dusk, which I did! I got to Knowstone and the pub was closed, it was Monday, so had a sit-down, had a think and then walked on again. My Salomon Quest boots were so comfortable, no pains, twinges or hot spots, the only problem was both boots LEAKED in exactly the same way! The water got in through the area over my toes, I walked in early wet grass and knew I had wet feet within about ten paces. When I looked, the front of my socks was wet, the heel areas were dry. Annoying!
In the end, I walked to the Tarr Steps and camped by the river. The pub there and the meal was the best en route. Lots of showers that day, I must have put on and taken off my walking long coat twenty times, but no problem, I stayed dry, except for some perspiration wetness which dried quickly when I open up the jacket to the air.
The next day, I still felt good so I walked all the way to West Lyn, just before Lynmouth. I came off the route at the bottom of a steep semi tarmac track at the entrance gate to Combe Park. I just strolled up the hill to the West Lyn campsite. It has a pub next door, £6 a night, so I stayed 2 nights.
The next morning I walked back to the gate at Combe Park and the followed the Two Moors Way to Lynmouth and the metal man sculpture at the seafront.
I wandered around, had coffee and cake, wandered a bit more and had lunch. Mid afternoon I walked back up to the camp site, Very steep zig zag track, really made me puff and pant! Had the Vegan main mean in the pub, (recommended!) 2 pints of beer and treated myself to a brandy at the end.
I was up at 05.15 this morning and was packed by 06.00 and retraced my steps through a field, down the steep footpath and caught the 07.28 bus to Barnstaple.
