It's stunning, North Devon coastline, the waterfall is Spekes Mill, the walk is from a place called Hartland Quay if any lads are down this way any time.. that while coastline is outstanding, but from here down to Bude is pretty spectacular imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all mate ! I know plenty of over 70’s who have just about given up when there’s no need for it. I’ve got the dogs and two big allotments with loads of poultry, I walk half a mile there and half a mile back twice a day and still get in a couple of nights lamping and a couple of days daywalking . A walk across the field, just stop and breathe in some fresh air and take in the scenery is far better than watching daytime tv ! Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
