After a lovely evening in Sidmouth including a very moving commemoration of D Day on the sea front, a brass band nice hymns and a poppy collection that was taken to sea by the RNLI and set on the falling tide whilst the last post played, we left the lovely town of Sidmouth towards what…

Another nice morning greeted myself and Dennis for his second day on the path. As we leave Exmouth, which feels a very nice town, we discover the most amazing beach, odly called Maer Rocks, which is a good mile of fine sand, and would not be out of place anywhere in the world. The walk…
