I feel very privileged that the Devon Guild have asked me back to show the work from the second half of the walk in the Riverside Gallery (<a href="http://www.crafts.org.uk/" target="_blank">details here</a>).</span><br />

Working in association with Villages in Action, Artsreach and the Devon Guild, myself and four other artists have collaborated to produce artworks in response to the experience of walking the path. These pieces will be shown as part of my exhibition and will go on tour next year (<a href="http://coastalpathpostcards.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">project blog here</a>).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally, next week I will have a few pieces in the annual show by the Press Gang Printmakers at Harbour House in Kingsbridge. We are a lively and friendly group who meet in Salcombe Art Club during the winter months to share ideas and techniques (</span><a href="http://www.pressgangprintmakers.org.uk/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">details here</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">).</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Walking in long trousers today to protect my sunburnt legs. Stopped on Ballard Cliff to sketch some Hawthorn Trees on Ballard Down - apparently this chalk ridge used to connect up with The Needles on the Isle of Wight.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N73yzGOt6Qo/U5oRGzOjPqI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/s3SWvBPYTCo/s1600/20140609-P1050039-Edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N73yzGOt6Qo/U5oRGzOjPqI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/s3SWvBPYTCo/s1600/20140609-P1050039-Edit.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />On to Old Harry Rocks, detached chalk pinnacles formed when rock arches collapse. Took some cracking photos from very close to the edge of some pointy pinnacles which I found far more attractive than the much photographed flat tops. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Having sketched the pinnacles we moved on to Studland and photographed Fort Henry - constructed to protect VIPs during practices for the Normandy landings. Particularly poignant as it is almost exactly 70 years since D Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Walked along the beach at Studland Bay dodging the naturists and dead jellyfish before arriving at South Haven Point and the sculpture marking the end of the path.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8KuAY3ajwk/U5oRaP6vbqI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/T_jOEm36nuQ/s1600/20140609-P1050079-Edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8KuAY3ajwk/U5oRaP6vbqI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/T_jOEm36nuQ/s1600/20140609-P1050079-Edit.JPG" height="210" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />On reaching the end I was quite pleased that it was a quiet contemplative finish tinged with much sadness - the sort of feeling you get when you finish a really good book. Of course it isn't the end, I can come back at any time and I have a long list of places that I know I will revisit many times.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">12 miles (walked 8 from Chapman's Pool)<br />Word of the day: Skylarks</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Logistics didn't allow us to walk the first bit from Kimmeridge to Chapman's Pool so we started at Worth Matravers. Walked out onto St Aldhelm's Head, stopping to sketch Chapman's Pool on the way. Took some photos of the 400 year old graffiti in the chapel which was refreshingly cool inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />We went underground at the old stone quarries in Winspit - massive caverns held up by natural rock pillars, the roof made up of a fossilised sea bed. To get away from the heat we stopped for lunch under a tree at Seacombe - many comments from the dozens of walkers that passed us. Did a quick sketch whilst digesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Walked on with increasing discomfort in the windless heat of the afternoon under a blistering sun. Stopped briefly to photograph the very stumpy Tilly Whim Lighthouse and then walked up to Durlston Castle for a well deserved ice cream and some serious rehydration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today was the last day of Dorset Arts Week and I visited exhibitions at Durlston by <a href="http://www.franceshatch.co.uk/" target="_blank">Frances Hatch</a>,</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <a href="http://www.robinmackenzie.co.uk/" target="_blank">Robin Mackenzie</a> and <a href="http://www.carolineparrott.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Parrott</a>. I hope to be having an exhibition here next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The last half mile into Swanage was along a rather smelly foreshore in spitting rain - then got lost trying to find the Youth Hostel (a kind man gave us a lift in his car).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Later had a swift half in the Square and Compass at Worth Matravers - a quirky half pub/half museum, then a celebratory last supper in La Trattoria washed down with a very good bottle of Sicilian Syrah. Not a good day for sketching - just too hot!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8 miles<br />Word of the day: Ranges</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Started the day with a bacon butty on the beach at Lulworth Cove. Whilst walking through the artillery ranges we visited the fossilised forest that had tree stumps that were hundreds of millions of years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After a stiff walk up Bindon Hill we stopped to sketch on the way down to Arish Mell - had to move on quite quickly because it was too hot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />The walk was graded Severe today and after the awesomeness of yesterday I enjoyed the walking but didn't sketch a lot. I find some days I prefer to absorb the landscape knowing I will be able to recall it from memory later.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Relocated to Tom's Field in Langton Matravers - a great camp site. We last stayed here 22 years ago when it was literally a field with a tap owned by Tom!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">14 miles (walked 7 from Osmington Mills)<br />Word of the day: Chalk</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />It's been a fabulous sunny day, very strong easterly wind giving us wind burnt faces. Rolling green valleys, more eroded cliffs with landslips and undercliffs. We were spoilt by turquoise seas with lacy white edges against orange yellow sand. Tidelines of seaweed, dusting of silver on the surface of the sea. Too windy to use paint so had to do tonal sketches. Favourite place for me was Bat's Head. Massive white chalk headland with striations of silver grey.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--lxDeUftAaA/U5oQAsQ1GHI/AAAAAAAAA-o/Y2VtP1tBkg4/s1600/20140606-P1040911-Edit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--lxDeUftAaA/U5oQAsQ1GHI/AAAAAAAAA-o/Y2VtP1tBkg4/s1600/20140606-P1040911-Edit.JPG" height="320" width="209" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />First glimpse of the iconic Durdle Door - had to draw it even though it's been done so many times before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On to Lulworth Cove which appears to shut down at five in the afternoon when all the coaches go home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Back to the campsite for a meal and to claim our pub quiz prize of a round of drinks - we had large glasses of wine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8 miles<br />Word of the day: Lighthouses</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />After a very rainy night we awoke to sunshine. Our first stop on the round-island walk was the sculpture park - an eclectic mix of artworks carved in Portland stone. Walked along the cliffs of the west coast and stopped to sketch the path leading to the old light. At Portland Bill we stopped to watch the waves and sketch at Pulpit Rock. Although not so high, the East coast was more interesting with disused cranes, beach huts and fishermen. Met Ann Dowsett who, with her partner, is due to finish the path the day before us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After eight weeks of using public transport to get to and from the walks it's all change this week and we are using the print bus as both daily transport and overnight accommodation. Very nice to have somewhere warm and dry to sleep last night. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

The path diverts inland at Abbotsbury and for the rest of the day it follows the shoreline of the Fleet, an inlet of the sea running for miles along the landward side of Chesil Beach. Famous for being used by Barnes Wallace to test the bouncing bombs used by the Dambusters. The usual detritus washed up on the beach including dead seabirds, Japanese cigarettes and dried dogfish!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Had some spare time today so visited the Dorset Museum in Dorchester to look at fossilised dinosaurs. Then went to Charmouth beach to try and find one for ourselves - no luck but did do some really good sketches of the beach, sea and sky. We could have bought an ammonite but it didn't seem right - and they weren't even from Charmouth! Stopped to sketch a field near Langton Herring.<br />Spent the evening in a couple of pubs, developing sketches, writing this blog and drinking Tribute (for the first time since leaving Cornwall).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Woke to a sunny morning but you could see that rain clouds were forming. This however made spectacular skies and perfect light on the cliffs. I made some sketches using the soft yellow ochre rock, sea water & ink. I could have stayed all day but knowing that we had to get home by several buses and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">trains forced us to crack on with the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">last stretch to Abbotsbury.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ULfU6lK_O10/U4DGx3ZXymI/AAAAAAAAA84/kAPWekK1xys/s1600/54+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ULfU6lK_O10/U4DGx3ZXymI/AAAAAAAAA84/kAPWekK1xys/s1600/54+3.jpg" height="215" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />It has been a great week, legs have held up well and the sun gods have been smiling on us, better late than never!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />The sudden change to the Jurassic coast provided me with renewed enthusiasm. The rolling hills and eroded cliff edges were such a contrast to the more robust broken and angular landscape of South Devon.<br /><br />Walking through new landscapes has been exciting as well as a little daunting. Knowing how long it takes to really understand a place makes me uncertain that I can represent it by just walking through. On the other hand I found that the familiarity of my home stretch made me not look with fresh eyes. I guess you get different things from first contact compared with the deeper understanding gained after many visits. With less than 100 miles to go and the finishing line almost in view I am starting to reflect on the journey, thinking about the huge variety of landscapes on the way and noting places that I would like to revisit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">Went for the healthy option at breakfast this morning - no fried food but not sure if croissants are any better! After being heckled by an OAP in Charmouth ("<i>'allo ramblin' hikers - what have you got all that kit for?</i>"), a long slog up Stonebarrow Lane brought us out onto the cliffs above St Gabriel's Mouth. Beautiful sunshine and blue skies today. Stopped to sketch Golden Cap from the west with Portland clear on the horizon.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aWxVh2sdrMs/U4DDpVqZsuI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/ZvXih3XIEuc/s1600/53+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aWxVh2sdrMs/U4DDpVqZsuI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/ZvXih3XIEuc/s1600/53+3.jpg" height="133" width="200" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rJm_IgUsd-o/U4DDuWyD3hI/AAAAAAAAA8g/IO5SGS2SPes/s1600/53+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rJm_IgUsd-o/U4DDuWyD3hI/AAAAAAAAA8g/IO5SGS2SPes/s1600/53+5.jpg" height="148" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Puffed our way to the top and had lunch whilst sketching the coast spread out beneath us like a map.

Up and over more roly poly cliffs to our final nights rest for this week. West Bay is a hotch potch of architectural styles but the place is dominated by the brooding presence of the East Cliff - featured in TV's Broadchurch and the title sequence of Reggie Perrin. Even when you're lying in bed you can feel the cliffs - just waiting!</span></div>

After a lovely night in the hut we headed down to Branscombe Mouth for breakfast in the Sea Shanty Restaurant. Walked through the Hooken Undercliff, formed in 1790 when a huge chunk of countryside (complete with hedges and a stile) slid 150 ft down the cliff.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bit more windy today, a nice change from the heat of the last three days. Did the waterproof shuffle a few times as the rain tried to make up its mind. Sketched Jacobs Ladder and walked along the sea wall with a backdrop of impressive graffiti scratched into the red sandstone. Stopped in Sidmouth for supplies and a nice cup of coffee in the Pea Green Boat.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMMaykSBrX0/U4C5YUf0tnI/AAAAAAAAA6w/taUeH09UV_U/s1600/51+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMMaykSBrX0/U4C5YUf0tnI/AAAAAAAAA6w/taUeH09UV_U/s1600/51+3.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Walked up the first of three big hills and enjoyed the bluebell woods on Salcombe Hill. Stopped on a seat on Dunscombe Cliff overlooking Weston Coombe. Had lunch and sketched the cliffs and beach. Dropped down into Littlecombe Shoot to stay in one of the huts clinging to the side of the cliff. Thanks to Flo Pearson and her family for inviting us to stay in such a special place. Apparently the hut sits on an old 'Plat' that was used as a market garden until the 1950's. Went to sleep to the sound of the sea and distant thunder. Marvellous!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Exmouth to Ladram Bay</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">10 miles<br />Word of the day: Stacks<br /><br />Leaving Exmouth we passed the monument marking the start of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site - a slender pyramid of Portland stone inlaid with rocks from the various geological eras present on the coast. Having skirted the bustling Sandy Bay holiday park the simple act of going through a gate in a hedge takes you to another world of impressive sandstone cliffs and pastoral farmland. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I stopped to sketch above Littleham Cove, and then we dropped down into Budleigh Salterton for lunch on the pebbly beach (pebbles originating from the bed of a river flowing from Normandy millions of years ago - apparently). The transition from caravan park to cliff seemed to reawaken my creativity which had been sadly lacking over the previous couple of days whilst walking through a number of seaside resorts.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Having walked half a mile inland to cross the River Otter I stopped later to sketch Brandy Head. Walked on to Ladram Bay with its amazingly sculpted rock pinnacles. Slogged up to the top of High Peak (508 ft) before dropping down to Lower Pinn Farm for the night. Liz very kindly ran us down to the Kings Arms in Otterton for a lovely supper.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Teignmouth to Exmouth<br />9 miles<br />Word of the day: Closed<br /><br />Hot and sunny today as we left Teignmouth on the first of numerous diversions - all resulting from the January storms that trashed this coastline. Dawlish and Dawlish Warren are achingly typical English seaside resorts. Complete with candy floss, arcades, mini-golf, hordes of children, dogs and larger than life characters.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />A boring road walk inland to the Starcross Ferry was relieved by a pint at the Anchor overlooking Cockwood Harbour. Whilst waiting for the ferry we watched a flock of about twenty Turnstones flipping pebbles over on the foreshore. A very pleasant ferry crossing (thanks Mark & Andy) brought us to Exmouth and a night with our friends Steve & Gill Price. Not an inspiring day due to all the diversions and my inability to re-engage with the walk - hoping for better things tomorrow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">7 miles<br />Word of the day: Gigs<br /><br />After a long bus journey from Dartington it was great to be back on the path. However, this first section was a bit of a shock for the legs - a real roller coaster. Stopped to sketch above Babbacombe Bay just after Maidencombe.<br /><br />As we approached The Ness at Shaldon our ears were assaulted by the sound of a velociraptor devouring its prey, or at least that's what it sounded like! It was a gurgling, sucking, chomping sound - like a giant toilet cistern slowly filling up. We never did find out what it was.<br /><br />As we walked past the mouth of the Teign Estuary half a dozen gig crews were pulling for all they were worth and barely making headway against the incoming tide. We spent the night with our friend Ian Chamberlain (a member of the <a href="http://www.moorpoets.org.uk/">Moor Poets</a>).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The penultimate stretch of the coast path beckons, packing and planning is underway. It took me a few hours just to find everything that had been stuffed away in the cupboard since last year. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After such a gap in the project I feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I am not sure I am as fit as I was on the last two stints, but as they say "the best training for walking - is walking" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It will be good to be back out again to reconnect with the landscape, the connection is much stronger for me when I stay out for prolonged periods of time. So with pencils sharpened, boots waxed, waterproofs packed (just in case!!) off we go ... only 140 miles left.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Preparations are now well underway for the final 140 miles of the Coast Path from Brixham to Poole. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We are planning to walk the last 2 sections during May and early June. This part of the coast is new to me so it will be very interesting to see the changes from my familiar Devon landscape to the Jurassic coastline. Unfortunately some of the under-cliff section is still closed due to landslips but I hope to visit the parts that are open.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have also been working on some small collagraphs of South Hams beaches, this one is Slapton Sands.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Since the last newsletter / blogpost I have had my knee arthroscopy. All is going well, lots of physio, walking and cycling to get my leg working again. It is quite astonishing the extent to which muscles waste if they are not used! I should be more than ready for the last stretch of the Coast Path in April.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This hiatus in the project has allowed me to reflect on what I have done so far. These reflections have ranged from wanting to re-do everything I have done so far to feeling quite smug about the whole thing. The benefit of hindsight is not always a positive thing, you can always see ways of improving your work and wishing you had done things differently. Like most printmakers I am highly critical of each print I produce and strive for perfection, but ultimately you have to trust the decisions you made at the time, enjoy the process and be content with the outcome. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I still have a few of the South Hams prints left to make before I start on the final stretch from Brixham to Poole. I look forward to getting back into the landscape to refresh my memory as the sketches I made back in the long hot summer feel quite unfamiliar now. But as it is home turf day trips out are nice and easy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank you for your continuing interest in the project, lets hope 2014 brings us another good Spring and Summer!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a very successful exhibition at <a href="http://www.harbourhouse.org.uk/" target="_blank">Harbour House</a> in September. We hung all of the daily prints on the double height end wall in the shape of the South West Peninsula. I doubt this will happen again for a while because very few galleries have such a big wall. It was amazing to see all the prints in one space - it made me realise </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">how much work I have already done and gave a real sense of the journey.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been busy in the studio continuing with developing the sketches from the path. We have 140 miles to go from Brixham to Poole. This last stretch has had to be deferred as my left knee decided it didn't want to walk anymore - the arthroscopy is on 19th November! If all goes well we should be back on the path in the spring.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was asked by the Moor Poets group if they could use a piece of my artwork for the cover of their latest anthology of poems. We chose a detail from one of my tin mine collagraphs called Wheal Betsy. More information about the Moor Poets and the book is available <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.moorpoets.org.uk/" target="_blank">here</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This month I also ran a two day collagraph workshop in the fantastic loft studio belonging to <a href="http://www.salcombeartclub.org.uk/" target="_blank">Salcombe Art Club</a>. On day one the plates were made using mountboard as the matrix and then a wide variety of textured materials glued on and sealed with shellac. Then on day two the plates were proofed and printed onto paper using the press. It was a very productive couple of days as you can see from the montage below showing just a few of the finished prints:</span><br />

I also noticed this week that my creative tank appears to be full again so I have decided to defer the rest of the walk until next spring. I am looking forward to spending more time exploring the coast in Dorset - an area with which I am totally unfamiliar.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For some of the monoprints I have been using viscosity inking. This is where you use inks at different viscosities (runny and sticky) which when applied using different density rollers do not mix. This allows the application of several colours with only one pass through the press. You also get the most amazing images left on the roller which look as though you should be able to print them - but they just don't come out!</span><br />

Then called in on another artist friend Alan Jones in Stoke Fleming as the coast path runs just near his house. Rejoined the coast at Little Dartmouth and stopped on the ledges below Blackstone Point to sketch the offshore Blackstone Rocks covered in Shags. Finally made it to Dartmouth for a night with friend Vicky Maxwell in whose garret I used to paint!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">As the day got warmer we headed along the raised beach below the old cliffs at East Prawle to within a few hundred metres of Lannacombe. We were then diverted 2 miles inland to avoid a major land slip.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Met up with poet Jenny Osborne and her partner Kevin and went for a paddle to cool our feet after the steep hills on the diversion. Walked with them to Mattiscombe and then headed inland for a night with artists Ysabel Winzar and Tony Watson.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Another dodgy forecast but no rain this morning. We were joined by fellow artist and walker Amanda Pellatt for the first section to Soar Mill Cove. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stopped for a breezy sketching session on Bolberry Down above Fernyhole Point. Then escaped the wind for a while on the beach before heading up to sketch the rocky coastline to the west of Soar Mill Cove (in the sunshine). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">As we were about to leave Tim stood up and his insulated seat (a swimming float) blew away down the cliff. After 7 weeks and nearly 500 miles it will be sadly missed.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">More windy cliff-top walking and some very jagged rock formations brought us to Bolt Head and the final sketching stop of the day. Strolled into Salcombe along the spectacularly rocky path below Sharpitor. Tim found 30 Namibian Dollars on the path - dreaming of great riches we discovered they were worth £1.89!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Just as we were leaving South Sands the weather changed very suddenly, a warm wind bearing a few heavy spots of rain brought high humidity and a very sticky walk up the hill to Martine & Doug O'Malleys house. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Despite a dire forecast we set out hopefully and, in the end, were amply rewarded. The dramatic cliffs and coves between Wonwell and Bigbury were even more atmospheric in the wet and misty conditions. We passed a rock stack that looked just like a seal pup!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Took some shots of multi-coloured slate cliffs at Hoist Point and had tea in Ayrmer Cove. Other hopeful people were preparing for a soapbox derby in Challaborough and by the time we reached Bigbury it was warm and almost dry. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Avon ferry doesn't run on a Sunday so we were very grateful when fellow printmaker Diana Miller drove us round to Bantham - saving us an 8 mile walk to Aveton Gifford and back. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">My boots leaked badly today! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stopped at Warren Point near Thurlestone to sketch the rocks and flowers but the unseasonably cold weather got the better of me and we had to repair to the Beachhouse at South Milton for more tea.</span><br />
