    Really good video. It gives a very good insight of this leg of the SWCP. I haven't walked this leg yet, but other. And the video prepares me for this walk when I will be walking it some time later. Thank you and subscribed.

      Thanks so much. We're hoping to start the next leg this March. I hope you enjoy your own hike.

    Perfect walking weather. I did it in November and that stretch along the beach at woolcombe is lovely. 👍

      Yeah - it was a lovely section round to Saunton in the sunshine. Hopefully we can catch a break this month and get back there. I often think of you walking it both ways as I'm trundling along!

    Really enjoyed this. Just this weekend walked from Lynmouth to Barnstaple (day and a half walk onwards from Woolacombe). The climbing per day is not to be underestimated - you never get up to amazing heights but you spend the entire day going up and down, it really adds up!

      That's a long way in a weekend. You're not wrong about the ups and downs! We enjoyed that stretch from Woolacombe but it ended up being a year later

    Great video, really enjoyed it. As a West Somerset lad, a lot of the beginning route is my regular stomping ground. However, my girlfriend and I are planning to do this whole route to Woolacombe in the Summer, so it's really helpful to see how you did it and get some tips. Good luck with the rest of the path.

      Thanks Tim, we're starting to build some miles up in our legs ready for the next section. Good luck on your hike.

    Really enjoyed your video account. I started in Minehead Mid April 22 and finished 30th May. I used the Paddy Dillon 45 day option. A fantastic walk and I would agree, if you keep it to 10-12 miles maximum it is more fun. Good luck with the rest of the trail.

      Thanks Paul, we've had to delay our second week due to a knee injury for Carmen but hoping to get back to Woolacombe in the spring. Congrats on your achievement.

    Well done both. It is an under rated section of the whole route, but not one to be underestimated. Some gruelling sections with some big climbs. But you have some amazing days ahead as well. Good luck with the remainder of the route, and everything else. All the very best and thanks for sharing.

      We agree! Looking forward to starting the next section late Feb
