Sandy Mouth, north Devon, England
We lit the fire with kindling and paper, then surrounded its flames with fragments of drift, their knots and heartwood damp from the rolling sea. With the heat warming our sides we lay upon the pebbles, the Atlantic in our ears, the stars in our eyes. It is times like these I will remember.
Later that night, on a headland above the swash, I unzipped my bivvy. The skies had clouded over and rain fell in thin sheets, blown left and right on the switching wind.
This is the South West Coast Path, peninsulas and valleys, time and time again, stars and rain, beauty without restrain.

Makes me want to visit England. I always thought that would be too easy, you know? Being able to read street signs and talk to people? 😉

Yes, you have to create alternative challenges – I might try a blindfold one day, or perhaps I will walk on stilts? 🙂

I’ve never spent much time in this part of the world, and when I do it is London – but next time you’ve convinced my that I need to expand my travels…incredible photos.

I am so glad to hear that you are planning to expand your English travels. Whether you enjoy London or not, I certainly feel its not a true representation of England. If you do visit the South West Coast Path, I would love to see your photos!

With much of my family ancestors from all over the UK ~ there is not another place more magical for me. Look forward to my next visit there. Cheers to a great weekend.
