Distance - 5 Miles
Walk Inspiration - Country Walking Magazine, Aug 2005, Walk 1
1pm table booked at the Village Inn, Thurestone and a 2pm kick of the new Premier League, where the Baggies face a Leicester tester.
Time constrained, it means avoiding the simply ridiculous local roads (classified B if grass doesn't grow along the centre) and starting the walk from our apartment.
Where we instantly pick up the Coastal path to be delivered into Hope Cove. Number of gorgeous coast photos will be limited to avoid boring blogfans. Here's looking back to Thurlestone Rock.
Who lives in a house like that? Well, this week, I do! |
Hope Cove reveals itself from the cliff tops. A self contained little town with a perfect arc of golden sands. Ramshackle dwellings creeping up the rock faces. Here you can buy the Sunday Times before working out how to carry it's bulk, when all you have is a bum bag.
One establishment's bold claim means that we will be coming back to watch the sunset.
Dropping down into Hope Cove |
Craft Beer - at the UK's best Craft Beer Bar. DIPAs and NEIPAs ahoy! |
From here, we climb back to Bolt Tail and start some limited geocaching. A measly three for such a walk is an unfair haul.
Perfect Caching Terriotory |
One last sea-view and reasonable inland walking through Bolberry and Galmpton. To think, we rushed this walk to get back and see the Baggies get mauled. It's going to be a long old season.
Forget about the football - until Hartlepool on Tuesday |
