Spring Wildcamp on Baggy Point - Silent Hike - Ilfracombe to Barnstaple

Thirty mile solo backpack on the North Devon Coast via Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands. Lovely first wild camp of 2024 on Baggy Point. Utilising a variation in recording style, no banter or chit chat, allowing the location to do its own talking!

Wow, what an amazing adventure. Love the cows on the trail and those epic views out there. Great video man!

I walked this a couple of weeks ago, some glorious views. I wish I could have stopped at baggy head but I wanted more miles that day…

Thanks for watching and commenting. Are you walking the whole SWCP?

@@theglumhiker2881 I walked minehead to near st Ives with the intention to get to Penzance, my shoe split on the bank holiday weekend so I jacked and got the train back from Truro. It was fantastic as I had no preconceptions. My only error (besides worn out shoes) was doing too many miles once I got going. I walked ilfracombe to instow in two days and it ruined my feet and exhausted me more than I realised at the time. After that a steady 12-14 miles was the max I could do. The whole experience was amazing, I will be back to do st Ives to Falmouth at some stage. Great video 👍

@@sobobwas6871 Nice one Bob, great effort. That next section to Falmouth is tough but also very rewarding. I struggled on that section last September in a heatwave! Sure you will be fine once you get your footwear sorted! Best of luck .
