The End

The last walk. It was cold and dreary at Swanage.
Old Harry's Rocks were interesting. Depending on which legend you choose to believe, Harry is either a pirate, a viking or the devil.
After a nice lunch at a National Trust cafe on Knoll Beach, we walked along it, past the Naturists area. Funningly enough, everyone we saw was very well clothed against the cold.
At the end marker of the South West Coast Path on the ferry wharf to Sandbanks and Poole. The ferry was not running but we didn't need it as we had our little hire car. We walked into a pretty birch grove near the car park and planted the two acorns we had carried all the way from the beginning in Minehead.
We may not have walked the entire 1014 kms of the South West Coast Path, but that is OK. We have finished OUR Path. Everyone's path is different. 
We walked all of the north Somerset and north Devon coastline, all of the Cornish coast and selected sections of the south Devon and Dorset coastlines. We walked 733.2 kms of the official South West Coast Path over 70 days with 16 non-walking, sight-seeing, clothes-washing days included. We have experienced, learned and enjoyed our Path. 
Thankyou for reading and following our Path. Now, go out and find your own.
