Personal Comments: Back to the Poltimore Arms, after spending a pleasant evening at The London Inn at Molland, with Mine Host Toby and customers, Neil especially, who gave us a donation. Uphill most of the way at the start, to level off for a spectacular view across Devon and Somerset. We leave Devon soon, it seems we havent been in it for long. We find a path to take us along the contours, we like these, unlike our old adversary, the coastpath which crosses them.
We soon find ourselves traversing Exmoor, what a wonderful place to be on a spring day, with no clouds in the sky, I feel alive. I call these "days of your life". Wild ponies and buzzards are ever present on Exmoor, we see many, but no red deer yet. Onward to Exford where we meet Andrew and co. having a cider, I decline. The sun is still beating down so I top up my sun tan cream, knowing full well I could get burnt under a light bulb!
A stiff climb after lunch takes us back to the top of Exmoor, going with the contours again, we soon arrive at Dunkery Beacon, the end of todays walk, what a lovely place to be on this sceptered isle, roll on tomorrow.
