High Peak and Peak Hill
« Exmouth | Seaton »

I remember being surprised (and glad) to be alive after the first time I walked this section of the coast. It was a baking hot day, and the climb up to High Peak north of Ladram Bay seemed as if it would finish me off. Today that hill wasn't so bad, but since my memories of this section were so wrapped up in that one climb, I'd failed to notice that it was shortly followed by another: Peak Hill. This is getting to be a habit: remembering the first hill, but forgetting all others.

Originally walked on 21 April 2002.
