So this years plan is set; or partly so. The mighty south west coast path; or partly so.
The plan is to do it all in 2016; in two bits. Whilst it means that this is just a section walk
; I have the comfort of knowing that each section is longer than the PW
.
Just couldn't find a way of being away from home/business for the necessary 34 days or so to do the lot in one go.
So the train is booked for Minehead (well Taunton and then a bus) on 30th April. 15 days to do the job and the train back from Penzance on the 16th May.
Looks like a lot of ascent/descent so I am not sure exactly how each day will pan out. Have booked in at 5 Youth Hostels along the way, including Lands End and Penzance. As for the rest; I think I will take a chance of turning up at the end of each day, wherever I end up and seek a bed then.
The only issue is whether I carry a tent and a bag all the way to cover the event that I don't get a bed?
As always, now the travel is booked, the anticipation starts to mount.
If all goes well, back to Penzance in September to finish the job off
