Day 11 Sun 25th April

12 miles from Barnstaple to Coombe Martin.
Managed to get my iPhone charged at the campsite. This is a constant problem for me. So much that I switch it off during the day, only turning it on when I want to take a photo or use the GPS (which along with Bluetooth is always switched off). This is why I struggle to reply to friends' comments and text-messages. Sorry!
Walked up and down narrow country lanes in thick mist. It wasn't much fun seeing headlights coming towards you with no verge to jump onto.
Short day - arrived at Coombe Martin at 1.00 so went for a pint and a Ploughman's outside a pub overlooking the beach. I had to smile as I sat there in shorts and short-sleeves and watched a woman walk past with hat, scarf and gloves on!
Gyp has a couple of sore patches under her front feet and I am considering taking our first rest day tomorrow. It's a lovely campsite very near to the beach but up a valley so peaceful that I saw a buzzard hovering overhead earlier.
"Coombe" is now the ubiquitous place name, taking over from the Cornish "Tre-"
