I mean, to be honest, #Trump ought to try living in #Dulverton, #Devon. None of the #escalators have ever worked there

Five pasties in three days? FIVE POTATOES IN THREE DAYS!! Poor beggar wouldn't last five minutes in #Dulverton

By the time we’d got back to our car on the #DulvertonToTarrSteps, I was basically spent for the day. Just one thing remained. #Dulverton is only about 10 km from #WimbelballReservoir. This #ArtificalLake was formed by the construction of a #dam. It’s not really remarkable except that this is the reservoir that feeds my home #city and so I just stopped off there to see it. You can see that it also provides recreational facilities.

The return leg of the #hike from #DulvertonToTarrSteps was significantly longer in terms of distance as it followed a meandering river on its way to #Dulverton. Here are some interesting and noteworthy features of the journey.

After our lunch, it was time to cross the #bridge and resume our #hiking back towards #Dulverton. We’d done just over 11 km up to this point.

Yesterday, we went on a #walking trip in #Exmoor, which is in #Somerset, despite the name. I had been planning a round #walk from #Dulverton to the #TarrSteps since last summer and this #BankHoliday weekend is a good time to have it as the weather is better, though not too hot, the days are longer, and there's a spare day for recovery. My wife used a #pedometer app to record the journey and it clocked in at 24.2 km and she recorded nearly 36,000 steps in eight hours, including breaks.

Church Lane, Dulverton, a row of early to mid 19th century houses. The lane in front is cobbled and green with plants growing through the cobblestones.

Overheard outside walking shop in #Dulverton. "Dad! DAD! Look at those folded paper Satnavs"
"Oh, how quaint. I think we used to call them maps"
