From Lee Bay along the coast path to Bull Point lighthouse and then on around Morte Point. Some big up and downie bits along the way and some scary (for me) cliff top paths! Camera was happy with the sunlight though.

Sccobys second canoe trip. To the Bull Sand and then down to the Warren. First trip out of his depth.

Up river to the new wreck just north of Starcross and then back down to the Bull Sands where Scoobie ran non stop (when he wasnt digging). Luckily we were too early for the Olly Murs sound check!

Was supposed to be an out to sea dinghy but there was no wind. So went out in the canoe. met up with the dinghy cruisers from SYC who had managed to find a little wind after all.

"Officer Of The Day" for the SYC "mystery dinghy cruise". What the mystery was to be was, er, a mystery to us. So we decided that it would be cricket and drinkies on the Bull Sands in the middle of the Exe Estuary at lo…

With ball action on the Pole Sands and Bull Hill, this was doggy heaven. Apart from the kayaking bit and getting a wet bottom when a few waves came over the side of the kayak.

With Nigel H in the inflatable Sea Eagle. Down against some tide and sea breeze to Bull Hill Bank. Then a lovely drift back with the tide and wind. Thanks to Derek H for the drone pics!

After tailing the safety line while Derek H went up the mast of his Fulmar, down to the Bull Sands against the wind and tide (only F3 and neaps). Lunch on the Sands and then an easy paddle back as the wind and waves got…

With the promised easterly being more like a southerly, there was a long enough fetch for some waves that weren't to Scooby's liking. So after lunch and some icecreams (which were to Scooby's liking) we diverted into Res…

A hound beach walk while using up time waiting for the evening's ferry to Shetland. Tye liked the beach at Newark Bay - he preferred that bit of the walk to the section along the top of the coastline to the Point Of Ayre…

Along the south west coast path from Praa Sands to Cudden Point. Past Prussia Cove and on to Cudden Point for great views across Mounts Bay and Saint Michael's Mount. See the photos for the pussy cat carrying hippie - i…

Beautiful summer's day paddle on a big tide. Out to Straight Point (the marines weren't firing) and watched a couple of seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Big tides so big average speed!

After much swearing at Polzeath at the start of the walk for a failure to provide dog bins or to mark the coastpath (given they don't allow dogs on beaches), it turned into a lovely walk. Out to Pentire Point and then al…

A slightly new take on an old favourite walk around Morthoe. A long walk for us - especially given the slightly fearsome uppy/downy bits on the coast path. The final climb to Morte Point was just as super-scary as I reme…

For a change, we went north from St Just In Roseland round to Messack Point for lunch. Very nice walk slightly spoiled by Scooby Hound trying to eat sheep shit and to play with electric cattle fences.

Another yomp round Baggy Point. Very nice walk - a bit wet / muddy climbing back up from Croyde across to Putsborough. Scooby Hound a bit distressed to only get 15 minutes of football on Woolacombe Beach but he is an old…

A near enough perfect day's paddling. Out with the tide against just the start of a sea breeze. Then along the coast to Straight Point. Flat calm and pretty much no wind. The Marines were firing otherwise I'd have gone o…

A very gentle sail and motor from Dittisham on the Dart round to QAB in Plymouth. With the gentle wind both Start Point and Prawle Point were pussycats even though it was Springs. We probably sailed about half the way fr…

Around a low tide and out to (pretty much) Orcombe Point. Lovely late October day with little wind and a fairly big tide. The recent easterly storm has made quite dramatic changes to Bull Hill Bank.

A hot, if misty, day and an old boy so we only did a short walk to Penlee Point. Found some new places to sit and watch the world go by on the estuary. New beach to visit at low tide

Very hot day so too hot to take Scooby on our usual Rame Head walk. So we stopped at Penlee Point and watched a helicopter taking off with supplies for the Eddystone Light House.

With Scooby now a bit of an old boy, we did a shorter than usual walk round Morte Point. Age is no barrier to him lunging for sheep (he's on the lead) and eating sheep shit.

Down to Prawle Point - the most southerly point in Devon and a headland well known to sailors! Pint at the Pigs Nose pub.

A doggie walk in the howling wind. Round Baggy Point and back to Putsborough and then on to Croyde Bay. Lots of photos across from Morthoe Farm camping across to Lundy. The wind must have been at least F8 - some impressi…

From Dartmouth round to Plymouth. With Spring Tides and a forecast that was F5 gusting F6, we planned to take a cautious route round Start Point staying about a mile and half off. However, as we motored out from Slapton…

A great sail from the Exe down to Salcombe. Sailed past Simon T and Andy B on Nelly Nui as they prepared for their Round Britain sail. Met up with them again off Dartmouth and we sailed on together towards Start Point.…

A short walk to dinner from Stoke Barton Campsite on Hartland Point. Hartland Point is a scary place if you think about sailing near it in the wind or fog and the granite "teeth" of the rocks only enhance this. The Hartl…

The plan was to go to Salcombe. However, the weather forecast was out and there was little wind to start with. That and some shennanigans with the cruising chute - that included giving it a wash in the sea - meant we wer…

A short walk to Start Point. Makes a change to walk round it rather than sail round it. There was no "inshore passage" while we were there. A camper van trip to Slapton for the night.

A sail on Derek's Fulmar down the estuary and then along to Straight Point (the Royal Marines weren't firing at the time). Sailed back alongside Julian's Halmatic 30 - the boats are nicely matched for speed. Then into Ex…
