JOGLE Day 80 Minehead to Porlock

Today I started the South West Coast Path, the first section, from Minehead to Podlock, of 21 which will take me all the way to Land's End. I also began a 3 day trek through Exmoor National Park, my last of 5 National Parks I've visited.

After a steep ascent through woods, I walked along the tops of high cliffs with fine views of South Wales and South West England.  The new path to me decending Hurlstone Head has a dramatic drop with many little flowering wild plants flourishing in the cracks protected from the blasting wind.

I treated myself to a savoury tea, which for me consisted of a cheese scone, with cheese and chutney washed down with still lemonade. A lovely day

The feature picture is of a poster of Minehead in the 1950's

The supplementary pics are of the starting monument of the South West Coast Path, the poster of Minehead in the 1950's, 3 scenes on the route and my savoury tea.
