Walk round Britain

I have made a decision today - Many, many years ago, for something to do whilst my son was off school in the summer holidays, we used to take the bus to the coast and walk along the beach - a different section at a time, and then mark it off on a map on my sons bedroom wall.

Ive decided to carry this adventure on - right the way round britain!! Ive read up online on the subject, and it seems that it takes 10 months to do the whole thing in one go - well, basically funds, my sons schooling and my partners business means that I wont be able to do this, but there is no reason why I cant do it a bit at a time, like the old days...

So now my blog has a purpose!!

Im going to purchase a map of britain (the old one bit the dust for posters of XBox Live games and England Footballers a long time ago!!) and set off. I will document it all, with photos here on my blog - I just cant wait to start!!

Ilfracombe, Devon - Gorgeous!!












Well, boyfriend was working in Ilfracombe today, so I went along for the ride - and WOW!!

Isnt it strange how sometimes you can go to a place and just instantly fall in love with it?! Ilfracombe pushes all the right buttons with me - its got a fudge shop (first and foremost!) a gorgeous british seaside air to it - a picturesque harbour, a sandy beach and hundreds of cute little coves surrounded by rocky headland that just beg to be explored......both on the rocks and in the sea.....I wish i had taken my wetsuit and snorkel with me - i cant bear to think of what treasures there were UNDERNEATH the waves!!
If you get a chance - GO. I heartily, thoroughly recommend it - im trying to persuade "him indoors" to take me back for a romantic weekend actually ;0)
