As we all adjust to our newfound freedom with eased restrictions, walking the Coast Path is what comes to mind for many of us. But what was it like trying to complete the Path in 2020 before the second lockdown hit? We caught up with Jim Ayres who did just that.
“I went out on my own and found that the solitude made me feel calmer inside and more able to cope with other things in my life.”
People often tell us that they never get bored of walking the Coast Path. Something that is certainly true for SWCPA member Steve Pattemore, who got in touch to tell us he is working towards his fourth & fifth completion of the Path at the same time. That’s over 3,000 miles and the equivalent of 20 times up Everest! Steve told us more about why he loves the South West Coast Path so much and how he got started.
This month’s Completer story comes from Pamela & Andrew Burtt from Sidmouth who have completed the South West Coast Path for a second time, in the other direction.
