An Austrian walker stopped me near Saunton/Braunton and showed great interest in what I was doing. We took each others photos and I waved back at him across the valley as I made my next ascent. I can't remember his name - it wasn't an easy one to remember. But hello whoever you were!
It had rained hard from Dawn until 5pm. I was feeling jaded, washed out, low in spirits, low in energy. I tried to cheer myself up by opening a tin of beans and sausages but I couldn't open it! A lady called Gill stopped whilst walking her dog Charlie and tried to open the tin for me. We began talking and the next thing I knew I was drinking hot tea in her kitchen where she lived nearby. Thanks Gill for showing such warmth and kindness on this - one of my toughest days. (I threw the tin away as I didn't see the point in carrying it further, having already carried it for 7 miles!)
Gill and Charlie
2 very friendly guys at Hartland campsite - was it John and Dave? Had a joke with me as I stumbled off towards a pretty tough stretch to Bude.
