    Tips

    January 19, 2024

    On this segment of the southwest coast path, I encountered difficulty in locating a suitable camping spot as darkness descended. Exhausted from a day of walking over 38 km and being on the move for more than 12 hours, I found myself without a place to set up camp. Forced to deviate from the path, I ascended in the hope of discovering a suitable spot to pitch my tent. To my astonishment and relief, just beyond the untamed heathers, there lay a field that seemed to be privately maintained, possibly for animals, as it was well-kept and not overgrown. Opting to camp there, I took the chance that the landowner wouldn't object. Fortunately, it seemed no one even noticed my presence. The night was truly delightful, accompanied by the soothing sound of waves.
