Hello all.
I've had a lovely few days to get some strength back and have decided to get back on the path before I get used to the easy life.
Jennie and I went to Seaton the other evening to meet up with our friend Caroline and her mum Jill.
It was good to see them both, and while we were there I went for a drive around the town - looking for a parking space - and I couldn't help but get all enthusiastic about the coast as I looked along the cliffs to both East and West. I realised then that I really wanted to get going as soon as possible.
But.
I don't want to end up struggling and disliking what I am doing, so I need to be ready.
Stopping when I did was without doubt the correct thing to do. I now am aware that I was exhausted and the aches and pains that I was feeling was as a result of that exhaustion. I only had to sit down and I would fall asleep and when I awoke I didn't feel any better. After a couple of days that unpleasant experience has pretty much gone and I can manage to stay awake for a whole day.......... Yes a whole day.
I would like to thank all of my friends, family and people that I really do not know very well, for their messages and calls asking after me and wishing me well. Thank-you very much, all of you.
So here is the new itinerary.
You will notice that I am popping back to Cornwall to complete the three days that were not possible due to my swollen leg. It will be good to do this as it means that I can finish the 630 miles at South Haven Point which is the official end/start of the South West Coast Path.
Also, I have included a lot more rest days to help with the experience. As a result I will not be finishing on my Sixty-Fifth Birthday on the 23rd June, but I will be finishing on Ringo Starr and Jeremy Kyle's Birthdays.
I can't help but feel that it was meant to be.
Take it easy
