South West Coast Path Day 4 - 9 March 2020 Little Hangman to Woolacombe

Walking 7.20am to 5.40pm
Distance walked today 15 miles (plus a bit faffing about finding a campsite)
Total distance walked 48 miles
Distance remaining 582 miles

A muddy walk down into Combe Martin. I didn't stop here. The route passed through Watermouth camp site, closed for the winter season, but a lovely grassed area and their water tap was working. Shortly after I chatted to Andy, out walking his Old English Sheepdog, Dougie. He told me I'd just passed the home of Damien Hirst's mother. He knew all about the geology in the region and that there used to be a silver mine in Combe Martin.

At Hele was a challenging zigzag path. On reaching Ilfracombe, I fell into Adele's, a lovely cafe and ordered their standard breakfast - it was lovely.
