On any other day a 13-miler branded ‘easy’ in the guide book would have probably been a breeze, but with aching muscles and 21miles already under my belt, today was tougher than I expected. To be fair though, walking 13 miles is never easy, even when relatively flat like this leg.

If you feel the need to blow away the cobwebs the last seven hideous months have left us with then try walking Port Isaac to Rock in a 51mph wind. Trust me, it does the trick. The wind was relentless from start to finish and always against us, never behind us egging us on, making every mile feel like three.

A flat and easy, but long walk which follows the route of the old railway line from Barnstaple to Bideford. Can be a bit frustrating as it feels as if you're not going anywhere fast and, as it also part of the Tarka Trail, it can get a bit busy, especially in summer.

Saunton Sands is a vast expanse of stunning golden beach on the north Devon coast. It's a popular spot with sun-seeking families and longboard surfers, and I can see why. It's simply stunning and, even better, dog friendly all year round.
