Being one of the newest members of Mickledore, this was to be my first familiarisation trip, and I was beyond excited to be allowed to test out one of our newest routes! The Two Moors Way, affectionately known as Devon’s Coast to Coast, is a sublime trail linking Wembury and Lynmouth, some 117 miles apart South to North. The official Two Moors Way route, which opened 29th May 1976, does not actually start until Ivybridge. In 2005 this start point was linked to a section of the Erme-Plym trail to extend the route to Wembury, creating Devon’s Coast to Coast. Myself and husband Matt are big walkers, so we decided to make the most of our time “down South” spending a week camping along the South West Coast Path prior to our fam trip. This meant we had a week of lugging all our gear around and “roughing it” before the luxury of our accommodations, luggage couriers and not eating lightweight pasta meals! Heaven. We arrived at Wembury slightly ahead of schedule, and so it was only polite to while away a little time in the beautiful Old Mill Café right on the beach. A wander around the historical little church…
