My mum's bday today, so we went for a yomp as a treat! Lol She's 72, this is a tough walk but some of the best scenery anywhere Imo... she loved it, she's fitter than most 40 year olds I reckon,

Me and my son climbed Scafell last year when I was 73. I was a bit worried whether I could a) get up and b) keep up.  I reached the top and there was a married couple who were 86 and 84! The woma

I like that mate, not heard it before! This walk today would be packed in the summer no doubt, perfect on a day like today, bright and cold with a nice rough sea as the tide was coming in...

Thanks mate.. 

It's stunning, North Devon coastline, the waterfall is Spekes Mill, the walk is from a place called Hartland Quay if any lads are down this way any time.. that while coastline is outstanding, but from here down to Bude is pretty spectacular imo

 

 

Happy birthday to your mam mate..lovely part of the world I spent a week camping in Bude on the campsite at the top of the hill above the village..

Parents ran a pub in Combe Martin, North Devon for years mate, this place is between Bideford and Bude mate, I love the coastline, done a bit in boats around it over the years and a bit of kayaking, outrageous tides in places, got to be careful in the water up that way...much more sedate on the South Coast lol

Living the dream mate living down there mate..cant beat being near the coast i love mountains but the ciast just seems alive with the movement of the sea..I don't know why but I have allways felt a pulling effect from the sea its a weird feeling its almost like I am a reincarnated sailor or something lol..sounds daft but it's hard to explain..my surname originated from Cornwall after I done some research so maybe my ancestors were indeed sailors I don't know..I could literally sit there for hrs upon hrs just staring out to see..its a special place..

Strange how people work really. I live near the coast but would much rather be on the moors seems to have more of a draw for me.
