Partly for logistical reasons, and partly because there is some dispute as to what exactly constitutes the Two Moors Walk, we decided to do the 17 mile leg from Wembury to Ivybridge a couple of weekends before our main walk.
This stretch turns the TMW from a stroll across a couple of moors into an epic journey from sea to shining sea (ish). It takes the walker up steep sided valleys, through bluebell-bedecked woods, along the meandering Erm and through the mighty Flete and Kitley estates.
We were lucky with the weather, and managed to polish off the miles double-quick-sharp. We stopped for lunch at the Rose & Crown in Yealmpton, where the food was as good as we remembered, but the service a little sluggish.
All in all, then, a good 'amuse bouche' for the main course to come.
Plenty of time still to sponsor us. Just click on the link on the right.
