We did a section of the SWCP in north Cornwall and Devon, from Padstow to Clovelly, over a six-day period. The official breakdown of this section is: 4% easy, 7% moderate, 38% strenuous, 51% severe.
Here are the details for the "official" route, along with my pedometer's estimate of what we actually did over the course of each day.
My pedometer's distance estimates are automatically converted from the number of steps taken. For what it's worth, I'm a little surprised to see less mileage than expected for Day 1. To the best of my recollection, we did not take any shortcuts that day, and instead we should have logged some additional mileage because we started our day with a significant detour. (We went to the main ferry site, then up and over a hill to the alternative ferry site, and back again.)
By way of comparison, here is the route profile of the Cleveland Way, which we did over a 9-day period in 2010:
Distance: 105.4 miles
Elevation Change: 4,997 meters
Maximum Height: 448 meters.
