Left camp site Chivenor at 9.20am. Colin bought tyre for his bike from Halfords at Barnstable.
Started walking from Westward Ho at 11:45 Lunch at Buck Mills at 15:00
Very undulating, always up or down, sometimes down to the beach. Still no other walkers completing the whole walk. Colin saw a fox running across the field. A short sharp shower through wood just before Buck Mills. Another shower (longer this time) just as we left Buck Mills. Couple in Buck Mills from Bideford helped themselves to hydrangea plants (cuttings). Met several couples on route picking best walking bits of South/West Way. Hobby Drive built in 19th century by Napoleonic prisoners, logging vehicles had destroyed surface in places. Didn't have time to descend to Clovelly at 17:45. Walked to bikes, cycled to campsite Dyke Green Farm. Cycled to car at Westward Ho 16:40. Started raining, another shower as we left Westward Ho in car for campsite.
Field around green cliff just cut by farmer. Fairies everywhere from cropped thistles. Disturbed small birds (hundreds) while eating seed.
