Day 12 Belstone Rest Day

Day 12 Belstone Rest Day 
Kilometers: 1.5

Cold and very windy day, rain off and on. 

For the first time since I started from Land's End I've had a very good night. Actually, I was so tired this morning I slept until 6.30 and didn't get up until 7.20. 

After a lovely breakfast I washed all my walking clothes in the washing machine, so nice not having to hand wash!


My plan today was to go for another walk on Dartmoor, but the weather just wasn't on my side. The wind was so powerful that it was difficult just to walk around Belstone. Also, rain! 

Cleave House. When I was 15 it was a hotel where my friends and I stayed for English language and horse riding school. I would have loved to get a better photo, but it's a private home now.


My arriving in Belstone means that I have now finished the first section of my Land's End to John o' Groats. I have also made it a little further than my previous LEJOG attempt, since I only made it to Okehampton that time 😀

   My approximate/planned route so far. It seems to change most days, usually because of the paths being too muddy after all the rain.
