I started with the intention of walking the whole length.

Logistically it was easy when everything was close enough to Somerset to make a day trip out of it. I'd put my bike in the car, park where my intended destination was & cycle to the start & then drive back to the start and pick up bike at the end of the walk.

Started at Poole & so far have got as far as Blackpool Sands & it's now too far for a comfortable day trip.

Probably need to do a decent stretch in the same manner, starting from Minehead and then take a couple of weeks with a tent to fill in the middle. I'm guessing the N.Devon & N.Cornwall coast can be quit demanding,though, if I want to do 20-30 miles a day witha pack.

Always. If I don't make it we do go out, but this has gotten expensive so now its roast beef, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, cauli or cabbage, parsnip and carrots with roasties and stuffing or if Im feeling lazy, croquettes with gravy you can cut with a knife. I make a single huge yorkshire pudding, so if there is any left, we can have it with ice cream later in the day.

Not sure which is weirder, the ice cream Yorkshire or potato three ways.

Why is it called a Yorkshire pudding, then...?

Because the old English meaning of pudding was related to animal stomach/offal stuffed with ingredients, like a sausage/haggis etc hence why there's a few savoury dishes that still have pudding on the name. It was only over time that the meaning changed to meaning a sweet or dessert.

Yup and if you are not a fan of these, definitely don't order the sweetbreads.

I think the plate of food the individual posted screams unfit sedentary person with high cholesterol but yeah the Cornwall but is tough , i do Tintagel to Port Isaac and back and that's tough but i don't go in for the long trecks now i like to really investigate where i am ,history geology , i even use a shipping app and take an hour out to spot ships and wildlife.
I took a month and a half out to do this walk starting in France and across Spain and that's a life changer (didn't use a company, cost peanuts as most accommodation free)
Having said this i should maybe up my cardio a bit this year

talking about the Cornwall section

And yet by the 1700s where it was first attributed to Yorkshire (hence the name) it was described as being a pancake batter, at a time when both pancakes and crumpets could be either savoury or sweet...
But then, it's also supposed to be a first course and soaked in gravy, rather than being served as part of the main, and leftovers were eaten later with jam or fruit syrup to avoid wastage.

"Yorkshire pudding is a side dish most often accompanying a savoury meal, like Sunday roast or sausages. But it's not entirely unusual to turn Yorkshire pudding into dessert and eat it with jam, icing sugar, custard, ice cream or any other sweet filling of your choice."

They do sweet ones in America called Dutch Baby's.

My grandparents always had them this way when I was young. It was to take the edge off your appetite as meat was expensive.
