OUT TAKES – 2 MOORS WAY/ DevonC2C 🤣

MUST Do’s

Take enough snacks
Take enough socks
Air your feet and maybe change socks halfway during the day
Always have a Whisky in the evening if you can
All waterproofs are essential
Get in the zone early for looking out for very hidden signposts
Speak with fellow walkers BUT ONLY if they want to.
Avoid fellow walkers you DON’T want to talk to
Be wary of Cows with calves- they can be belligerent

Must NOT do

Take an umbrella – although we did see someone walking with one, AND it was useful waiting at the bus stop in the way home
Take 3 books to read- you never will; a kindle and I – pad is enough, AND it leaves more space to buy 2nd hand ones at random book shops that pop up in villages
Take a lot of fleeces unless walking in high altitude and certainly NOT in September
Fill your suitcase to 20 kg all because the baggage moving company says you can
Take your SLR camera and the extra lens on this sort of holiday – a lot of faff and unnecessary extra weight – never used it !
Pack all your washing paraphernalia — share a toothpaste BUT NEVER a toothbrush
Eat a cooked full English breakfast every day. IT IS NOT NECESSARY and makes the uphills even more difficult

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that any BnB or country inn has either a loose shower rail or wonky toilet seat or a loose door handle fitting, AND creaky floor boards” .(with passing acknowledgement to Jane Austen)

No building in Devon has straight walls, ceilings or floors

There are a million and one ways to secure a gate

He likes the look of them (fungi)- can’t think why ?

BUT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL

“mechanicals on the journey”- ALL H’s – does that say anything ???
