Walking in Devon

After our time in Brecon we have had several weeks without walking due to various circumstances. However we were able to walk near Stover in Devon last week, about 8kms through woods and then road and field tracks near the River Teign. They serve good coffee at Sampsons Farm, Preston, where we stopped for a short break. They also serve meals but it was too early as we were there mid-morning. The weather was fine and became quite hot, with the temperature up over 30C by mid-day. One view was of the cows going into the farm to be milked, fortunately just beyond the entrance to the farmhouse and garden as there were so many of them.

For those who have followed our times on the Camino the ruts near a field gate brought back memories of 2010.

We followed this with a more road based walk on the Haldon Hills, also on a warm day. Then we needed to spend some time at home, doing some housework!! More walking hopefully, if it doesn't rain again, later in the week.
