May Totals

All Green !
Monthly Average : 12,857 steps
Best Day : 26,052 - Wednesday 27th May

May included lots of long walks around West Bay, including my longest on Wednesday 27th May, as detailed here.

South West Coast Path - Eype Mouth to Seatown (and back)

Our plan to drive to Seatown and walk back to West Bay was thwarted by a traffic jam on the A35.  So we parked at Eype Mouth and I did a there-and-back walk to Seatown while Val walked back to West Bay, a repeat of Sunday evening's walk.

South West Coast Path - Burton Mere to West Bay (with loop)

This was meant to be a figure of 8 walk from one of the National Trust leaflets, but as Val's knee played up, she drove back after completing the first (longer) loop, so I took the opportunity to walk all the way back to West Bay.

South West Coast Path - Eype Mouth to West Bay

On the first full day of our West Bay holiday, we were keen to explore.  This walk was a quick there-and-back over the hill from West Bay to Eype Mouth.

April Totals

Monthly Average : 8,117 steps
Best Day : 16,290 - Thursday 30th April

A lot of April went unrecorded, including a lot of walking in Scotland  Of the days I had my step counter, Thursday 30th April was best.  For reasons not currently remembered, I spent some of the day out by Royal Berks hospital.

Tobermory and Aros Park

We had one full day on Mull and wanted to fit in both walking and exploring the whole island by car - so the walking had to fit into a morning.  We set off from our B&B and walked down to Aros Park.  Each waterfall we passed was bigger than the previous one and we ended up taking a side path to see the largest one before looping the lake and heading for home.

Three Walks around Iona - South, High & North

After several days of travel both to and through the Scottish Inner Hebrides, this was our first chance to walk.  Iona isn't big, so I was determined to walk it all !

Fitting it all in amongst exploring the town and abbey wasn't easy, so we didn't quite manage to explore every beach I'd hoped, but over three walks during the day, we reached the southernmost point, (very nearly) the northernmost point, as well as the highest point on Iona.

Our 1st Walk - to the South of the Island

Our 2nd Walk - to the highest point on the island

Our 3rd Walk - to the North point of the island.
