Hello and happy new year!
Another year is here already and it's a great time to think about doing some more walks. With the summer I've been planning this year's walking weekend and for next month I'm arranging another London walk. I hope you can make both!
WALKING WEEKEND 2013
This year we're taking on one of the most spectacular sections of coast path in Britain - Lynton to Combe Martin in the Exmoor National Park. Our walk will start in Lynton where we'll head west along the remote north coast of Devon, weaving in and out of coastal valleys, climbing to cliffs several hundred feet above the sea. The challenging route passes Castle Rock and the Valley of Rocks allows us a chance to recharge at the Hunters Inn half way. They will be a chance to end your walk here return to base or you can push into the second half of the walk past Heddon's Mouth and the breathtaking Hangman Point. The total distance of the walk is approx 13 miles or around 6 miles for the 'half' walk to Hunter's Inn. At our destination we'll embark on plenty of refreshments before arranging transport back to our accommodation.
The dates for this year's walk is Saturday 6th July and as usual we'll arrange car sharing on Friday morning, returning after two nights on Sunday 7th (remember to book the Friday off work!). Weather and by-law permitting I'm hoping we can do a barbecue on the beach one of the evenings.
I've yet to arrange any accommodation but there's plenty of places we can stay in Lynton (or Lynmouth in the valley below). There's a YHA in the moors around 25 minutes from the coast but seeing as this is a coastal walk this year we might not stay at a YHA. As always though the emphasis will be on value for money. If you know Lynton/Lynmouth and know some good, affordable accommodation please let me know.
I really hope you can come this year, if you think you might come along let me know and I'll keep you updated with information on accommodation and things.
