Baggy Point Circular

This spectacular 10-mile (16km) circular route captures the essence of the North Devon surfing coast. Starting from the bustling surfer hub of Croyde Bay, the route follows the South West Coast Path out to the rugged sandstone headland of Baggy Point. From the point, sweeping views encompass Bideford Bay and Lundy Island. The trail then continues north, dropping down to the immense, 3-mile golden sweep of Woolacombe sand. After reaching Woolacombe, the return journey cuts inland over the high downs and farmland, offering a peaceful, elevated contrast to the busy beaches below.

This two-day Patagonia hike leads to Refugio Otto Meiling on the slopes of Cerro Tronador, one of the most prominent peaks in the Bariloche region. The route climbs through coihue and lenga forests before emerging onto a high rocky ridge that culminates at the refuge (1,905m). Positioned between the Castaño Overa and Alerce glaciers, the stay offers a unique opportunity to witness active glacial calving. The trail follows a well-defined path of forest floor and alpine rock, with a final sustained push to reach the rocky spine where the hut perches.
