Do You Think I’m Sexy? – Second Blog Today!!

If you do then I know for sure ‘There’s something wrong with you, oh baby, baby, baby, what you doing in my hoose?’ Talking Heads’ seminal album Little Creatures when David Byrne was at his screeching best. Buy This Album! Buy The Incredible String Band’s Big Huge album. Don’t miss out, there is only one life my friends and don’t be fooled by religious dog(poo)ma, there is no heaven or hell. Enjoy the best the world has to offer now before we decompose. There won’t be a Dirty Pillock dropping us into placky bags and leaving us at the side of the path. We’ll just burn. Seize the time! Carpe Diem as Horace wrote two thousand years ago. Don’t drift and die peeps – do things. Yes we have to work but there is so much to do outside of that. Bringing up kids in a positive way. Developing ourselves to be able to appreciate the earth and its mysteries. I’m off on one. Sozza.

Made the First train to Teignmouth from Totnes. Ziva gave me a lift to the station. What a pleasant stay at her gaff, just at the right time when my limbs and joints were creaking. Breakfast in Teignmouth and then a fair hike, alongside the storm damaged rail and coastline up to Starcross.
I’m weighted upon. The rucksack is back! A relatively short run today, but still 10 miles. I need to hit 14 a day now, I’m not spiritually bound to this part of South Devon or to Dorset as I am to Cornwall. I’ll look forward to developing an appreciation.

Cloudy and cool this morning. As I walked alongside the rail line there were suddenly loads of people, waiting to see an old, but very fast, steam train. Here it is.

There is a ferry to Exmouth across the last of the English fjords, the river Exe, and I made it without any problems.

Some interesting views across. But when I got there the weather was back to the sunny best it has been for three weeks and more. Wow!

I’m scheduling my last trek days. I’ve climbed three times Everest plus one Ben Nevis over a trip equivalent to walking from London to Sheffield to London to Sheffield to Manchester, although why anyone would want to go to Manchester from Sheffield beats me.
I’m at a campsite under Wilson just outside Exmouth. It’s going to be a good few days to the finish, and beyond. Sithee.
