Combe Martin to Ilfracombe - Monday 9th August 2010
Path Facts - Length: Approx 5.3 miles, Ascent: 1804 feet
Short day today. No particular rush. We walked back towards the sea front from the Pack O’ Cards. Checked tourist info for tide times + found more SWCP local maps by a guy in Croyde which are great.
The SWCP Association guide really bigs up an alternative path to avoid a dangerous stretch of the A399. It involves crossing the beach/harbour at Watermouth but only if the tide is low. Hence the need to check tide times – but luckily we were about an hour off low tide so there was loads of time.
Interesting Fact!
A small dog operates the till in the outdoor shop at Combe Martin. No, really.
