I had a bit of a\u00a0change to my usual Wales Coast Path<\/a>\u00a0Run this week. We were down on the\u00a0South Coast so that Anna could attend a River Cottage HQ cheese-making course that I’d bought her for her birthday. So, while she was at that all day on Sunday I decided to run along the coast path from Axmouth to Lyme Regis, which took me through the Axmouth-Lyme Regis Undercliffs Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n

We had spent the night in the Honiton Premier Inn so started the day with an all you can eat breakfast. Smoothie, fry up, granola, yoghurts, toast, croissants, pastries and loads of cups of coffees later and we were ready for the day. We’d arrived in Honiton on Saturday evening but the weather was terrible and there didn’t seem to be much to do there.\u00a0the highlight of our time in Honiton was a trip to Aldi! The breakfast was nice though.<\/p>\n

We packed up, jumped in the car and drove the 20 minutes or so to River Cottage HQ.<\/p>\n

Before long the tractor arrived to whisk Anna off for her cheese-making course.\u00a0I’m sure she will blog about this soon as she had a really good day there and got well fed too by the sounds of it.<\/p>\n

I headed off towards Seaton, checked out the seafront and \u00a0then found a little layby to park in just beyond Axmouth.<\/p>\n

I got changed, found a geocache along the banks of the River Axe and then started my run. It was a lovely day for it, cool with blue skies, just a bit of cloud here and there and a large swell pounding the pebbly beaches of the south coast. The layby was right next to a Coast Path sign that directed me towards Lyme Regis which was 7\u00a0\u00bd miles away.<\/p>\n

The Coast Path took me straight up a steep hill and then through a Golf Course so I started off steadily and stopped now and then to take a look at the lines of swell rolling into Seaton behind me.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
