When we camped on the cliffs at Osmington my brain took that lovely sound of the waves below crashing on the rocks and decided we were sleeping next to a motorway. Thanks, brain. Last night brain figured out we were on a beach and wasn't a dick about it. Didn't try to convince me we [...]
I've been getting cold at night and given the general badassery of my kit that really shouldn't happen. I was lovely and warm when we camped at the YHA in Lulworth and it was actually colder so the only thing I can think is that my sleeping bag isn't being given enough time to loft. [...]
We fully intended to get around the whole of Portland today, emerge triumphant from the other side then head a few miles away where we thought we might be able to bag a quiet wild camp. There'd be nothing on Portland to distract us, it was probably flat and really boring, a bona fide piece [...]
Our plan today was to camp before Weymouth which would mean a super short day of ten miles or so. We didn't really want to go further as that would commit us to going through the town then all the way down the road into Portland, then fuck knows how far into the Isle of [...]
I'm so glad we decided to take today off. Not only are my poor, battered legs a bit stiff today but my arms are bloody killing me, probably from where I was using my poles to drag my unwilling carcass up hills and clinging onto various fences for dear, sweet life. I think I have [...]
TLDR…Eyeholes: "Oh my fucking god will you JUST LOOK AT THAT VIEW?! I can't even <3"Camera: "Meh. S'alright."Brain: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SO CLOSE TO THE EDGE ARE YOU INSANE?! That's it. Sit down. You're not going anywhere." Winspit. A popular spot for a little party it seems. In an absolute stroke of [...]
Well I 100% didn't need all that alcohol I drank last night, and I definitely felt like I had more than four drinks. This was possibly the reason it took so bloody long to get going today despite the fact we didn't have to take a tent down. We needed breakfast and a Mug Shot [...]
I slept so well last night in the woods, it's always a little bit warmer and a little bit darker, and I feel more out of sight therefore a bit safer. Obviously there are potential perils such as a badger nicking off with your biscuits but I'd take that over a stern telling off any [...]
Our original plan for this section was to follow the Solent Way to the coast then just follow the sea all the way into Bournemouth which sounds super lovely and idyllic but you know what? We're going to have 630 miles of coast when we hit the South West Coast Path. We can save ourselves [...]
Tarrant has been having problems with her feet resulting in her walking like she'd shat herself. Her Merrells started disintegrating around mile 60, and they've completely compressed so she has no cushioning at all which she's very much not used to. To be fair she not used to walking miles every day full stop. She's [...]
