SWCP Day 40 Starcross to Salcombe Mouth 4K
With some settled weather forecast I packed my bag and headed back to the path. After catching the ferry from Starcross to Exmouth I enjoyed an easy walk along the promenade past the RNLI Satation. A short climb at Rodney Point brought me to The Geoneedle which marks the start of the Jurassic Coast. I continued along grassy cliff tops before reaching the Devon Cliffs Holiday Park and their noisy MOD neighbours! Passing several crumbling cliffs I climbed up to West Down Beacon before descending again into Budleigh Salterton. When you reach the car park at the end of the promenade, aim for the bridge on the far side and do not continue along the beach as there is no access here across the Otter. After I had walked around The Otter Estuary Nature Reserve I climbed gently up to Brandy Head Observation Post which offered some welcome shade and benches. I soon reached Ladram Bay Holiday Park before climbing up to High Peak only to then descend again into Sidmouth. One last but tough climb out of Sidmouth before I turned inland to my campsite at Salcombe Regis.

another gem ... many thanks.
Great to see you back. Excellent and very informative video.
The weather looked amazing! It’s really great seeing you back on the path Paul! 👍👍
I am only just catching up on your latest stretch of the SWCP over several days, so what a treat I have tonight, starting with this superb video where every shot is like a prize winning photograph. Stupendous scenery, all seen at its best in such beautiful weather. As always, you've done it proud Paul.
Really enjoyed the video! Loving all the hints and tips along the way, it's good to know what to expect 😊
Beautiful walk. And the weather really got better and better. You are soon finished with the whole path 😊 Must be a bit strange feeling 😊 I am looking forward to watching the walk through the undercliff 🙂
Awesome paul, loved it again , think you should have had that second pint especially when its free 😂 looking forward to the rest 👍
Another great one Paul - ta very much! The undercliffs do seem to be a Marmite section, for me fantastic though. I look forward to your take on it.
Hi Paul. Great to see another video. I knew you've been on the path again as I follow you on Instagram. Pleasant surprise to see the first day edited and posted so soon.
Hi Paul. That looked a good walk. Bringing back memories again of family holidays on the south east coast in the 1980s. I was interested to see that you stayed at the same campsite we moved on to after meeting you on Day 2.
🎉
I’m a bit late catching up here Paul. Good to see you back out with the big pack again mate.
I found some of that walk is pretty tough going, takes longer than you'd imagine from looking at the map. The river Otter is the only river with two heads... because like all it has a source but that point at it's mouth is called Otter Head too. Some great footage there Paul. I've never taken that ferry over the Exe, I guess I will do when I add that part to my SWCP walk.
Hi Paul, another great video, this time along part of the South coastline I've visited many times since the mid 1960s, but this time I get to see the beautiful scenery between the resorts, thanks to you. I see Ten Tors was held last weekend, I did the 60 miler in 1964 and 1965, did you ever take part yourself? Looking forward to the next episode.
Hi paul, i am planning to do the swcp myself hopefully starting in the near future. Do you mind me asking what camera setup you use. I have a gopro but do you use a handle with gimbal etc.
