Woke up early this morning in the lovely boutique-hotel standard bed and had a little walk from the Airbnb up onto Dartmoor. Sun shining birds chirping, dew sparkling and miles-long view spreading out before me. I must come back here. Among other delights, there’s an 11-mile bike trail along a former railway track called the Granite Way, right next to the Airbnb.
Set off from the lovely Okehampton station. Train from Exeter packed to the gills because of yesterday’s strike. Almost every seat filled. However, I managed to get a table seat. Such luck!
I feel very strong and sturdy after all my exertions. Without the rucksack I feel light as a feather. (I weighed it when I got home and it was over a stone in weight.) Have been investigating Chilterns walks and have just got Janneke’s agreement to do a walk there this Friday. Ten miles should do it! Huzzah!
