If you haven't got a tent, or a waterproof jacket, or two pennies to rub together, let us know here.

Why do I keep saying us? Let *me* know smiley - smiley

I don't have a tent - and some wellies would be quite useful, if you have size 14s

Bringing a tent for you would be a pleasure, Sir smiley - ok

Wellies could be a problem smiley - laugh

Don't worry about the wellies, I've decided to treat myself to a proper pair of hiking boots after doing Penzance to Land's End in trainers - it was hard. I've never bothered with walking boots in the past cos I've always done mostly cycling.

I come down south, you have hills, the bike stays in the shed and I'm down to hiking.

Oh, nice one! That's a pretty solid days walk, apparently, so you've done well to do it in trainers. Just try to break the boots in before you get here, because you don't really want blisters while you're going through the mire!

Yeah - it was 7 hours of constant hiking, boulder scrambling and the occasional waterfall to climb over. Worth it though. Might add to your series on the South West Coast Path if I get the time over Easter

That would be fantastic smiley - smiley It's not a project I ever envisaged writing by myself; I always hoped others would chip in here and there!
