A fabulously gentle 5 mile stroll today – our project being the bit of the coastal path we left off on Wednesday … abandoned due to uncertainty of terrain, darkness looming and low spirits! The path was between Brean and Weston-super-Mare. We largely stuck to the cycle path in preference to the sea wall and it completely paid off – a perfect walk, very enjoyable.

The last two miles of it was walking along the beach, so so populated with dog walkers as well as kite surfers and buggies. We walked right up to the Grand Pier and before saying our farewells to WSM we indulged in some hot sugary donuts and coffee – relief treats!

We’d left our house-sit today, saying our goodbyes to Dave and Gathina (super friendly cats) and drove down to our next stop – a small hotel in the lovely seaside village of Watchet. We’ve had a little look around and first impressions are great … seems to be an arty community here, lots of galleries and small theatres. Looking forward to exploring more over the next couple of days.

And we’ll be back out on that muddy path tomorrow – wish us luck.
