A pleasant evening circuit from Bude combining the canal towpath and the coast path
Distance: 6.5km; Ascent: 150m; Dry, but cool for the time of year; Solo
At around half-past eight I set off walking along the canal towpath heading out of Bude, before cutting up to the coast by way of the road to Upton from Rodd's Bridge. I arrived at the coast just as the sun was setting, and enjoyed a most pleasant walk north along the coast path at dusk.
The trig point on Efford Beacon beckoned, followed by the tower on Compass Point, before I dropped back down to the canal at the sea locks by the light of a full moon.
A lovely evening coastal walk :-)
I had to do a double take 'Upton to Bude' - that's a hell of a long way from that little River Severn village, especially for an evening walk! There's only one Upton...isn't there?
ReplyDeleteAh, did I forget to mention that I used a pack raft to descend the River Severn? ;)

ReplyDeleteI see your double take resulted in two comments too :-). The Upton I refer to in my post is only a mile away from Bude, so it was a relatively short evening stroll.
