After walking to Woolacombe again we took the bus back to camp, travelling via the small village of Mortehoe, a popular starting point for some of the coastal path walks. We marvelled at the young bus driver’s calm and nerve as he took the bus through small roads with only a few centimetres gap on… Continue reading A boat trip rescheduled

While we’re in North Devon we took the opportunity to catch up with Claire’s Dad and half-sister Caeli in Westward Ho!
