Sponsored Walk

Having returned from Cornwall we continue to walk locally.
On Saturday Terry managed a hilly 22 kilometres as a sponsored walk for Devon Historic Churches. Visiting Trusham, Hennock, Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh Knighton and back to Chudleigh church for a welcome cup of tea. The climb up from the Teign valley to Hennock is from 30 metres at river level to 200 metres at Hennock church. The narrow lane back down to Bovey Tracey has a gradient of 1 in 4 in places. I remembered to tighten my bootlaces at the top! This prevents the foot sliding forward in the boot and bruising the toenails.
