Slightly more varied walk today, but still on the estuary and almost completely flat. My pinkie toe has a blister, which slowed me down towards the end, but my legs were fine. Strava failed me towards the end. Total was about 10 miles today rather than eight. Had brief chats with a lot of friendly people. Saw loads of lovely dogs. Preponderance of spaniels. The weather was pretty good - a few showers but none of the soaking kind.

I stopped in Appledore for a couple of hours as there was no point getting to my Airbnb before the 5pm check-in time. Had a vegan pasty and a cup of tea. The Appledore gig race day was in full swing.

Then I was on the final approach to Westward Ho! - going around Northam Burrows Country Park. Lots of people on the beach and in the water.
