Well, that is the end of a once-in-a-lifetime fantastic adventure around some of the best coastal scenery in the world. The weather was unbelievably good with only two days being wet for most of the day. I've stayed in a variety of B&Bs, some excellent, most very good and one or two below par. I've had a night in a Youth Hostel, a night with Nigel and Rowena, three nights in a tent and one in a caravan. I watched a disappointing England effort in the World Cup. In the evenings, I consumed 108 pints, one of which was scrumpy, and tasted 47 different brews, mainly from brewers in the area. The only regret is that I didn't have time to stop and look in detail at some very interesting places I've been through so I will have to return, one day, to check them all out. Thanks to the generosity of family, friends and ex-colleagues, I have managed, so far, to raise £765 for Cancer Research UK. I was reminded, en route, of those people I've known that have been struck down by cancer and didn't make it to retirement; some not even making their fiftieth birthday so I feel particularly privileged and fortunate to have made it as an OAP and to have been fit enough to take on the challenge. I dedicate my walk to the memory of those people.
