(334) Axe mouth
Axemouth itself is a bit inland. Dunno why. But I have now seen both the source of the Axe in Wookey Hole and it's last few yeards as a river before it enters the sea here. As far as I recall, it's the only river I have seen the start and finish of. -
(295) Grockles!
Lots and lots of Grockles. Everywhere. Lyme Regis is such a gorgeous place but I can't take it when it's so full of people. But for me, I have a feeling of achievement that I completed an overlong walk and I am here just in time for a 99 ice-cream and onto the X53 back to Sidford. Which is why I parked there - the bus doesn't go to Sidmouth! Think Ahead! -
(226) Cliff top
The path out of Seaton climbs steeply (there's a surprise!) to the golf course - it is quite strange to walk across the greens but that is the official route so over I go. So far, so good. But there are a few signs saying "Warning - this is an arduous path and it will take you 4 hours! And don't even think about it if the weather is bad." -
(210) Steep Climb
Oh goody! More steps to climb. And the sun is belting down. Branscombe is the next stop, once I get over this hill. -
(198) Ugly Bird carefully parked up in Sidford
I still don't like leaving my beloved out in full view but let's face it, despite my love for her, she is too old for a tea-leaf to have much interest in her. But the thought of vandals still worry me. Still, here we are in Sidford, a few miles inland from Sidmouth. More on that later... -
(196) Undercliff and Beach
That's the undercliff, sort of halfway down the cliff. The beach as far as I can tell can only be reached by boat. And yes, once again, I have climbed up a long way. -
(194) Salcombe Hill
Wow, I've just come across that lot! This is the prettiest path I have been on so far (and that's saying something) But I am already into the contents of my Camelbak - which I actually remembered to bring this time. I also have some technical liners for my chap boots (that's doubled their value!) which are also having a big impact on my comfort. -
(186) Hook Undercliff, looking back
And as usual, I am climbing! I need to get back up to the cliff top in order to continue. Very pretty part of the walk and not to be missed. I saw lots of cliff-dwelling black birds but they were just Jackdaws rather than Choughs. -
(183) Narrow path
It's narrow along here, but I only met a few people coming the other way, so it wasn't too much f a hassle. But although the damn path is still going up and down like a yo-yo, at least the footing is level. -
(179) Undercliff
And indeed, in a very short time the path takes me into a large undercliff. It's narrow, dark, muddy (I WILL keep slipping over!) and not at all pleasant - I just want it to be over. The guide book says it's reminiscent of a jungle. Yeah, well, I didn't like the jungle much, either. -
(177) Branscombe Beach
No time to explore the pebbly beach, Beer is my next destination. -
(175) Seaton
As usual, the path from anywhere to anywhere involves clambering over a bloomin' great hill. And this hill is between Beer and Seaton. My camelbak is now dry and so am I. -
(174) MV Napoli
I don't know if this is readable of not, but it wasn't until I dropped (again) to sea level when I entered Branscombe that I remembered the story of the MV Napoli and the hordes of scavengers trashing the containers on the beach. This plaque and the ship's anchor are the only signs left of that episode, which I watched with awe in France. -
(174) Lyme Regis Cobb
After a much gentler finish to the walk in the open air rather than the jungle of the undercliff, the path descends steeply (of course) into Lyme Regis, coming out just beyond the Cobb, just in view in this shot. Portland Bill is just visible on the horizon. -
(173) Salcombe Hill
A rather flarey shot showing that I am still nowhere near the summit of Salcombe Hill. Those steps really sap your strength both going up and going down.
