| Devon Hills! | 2019-08-11 | After having had the cassette on my bike changed to an 11-34 to try and help me get up some hills, I thought I'd try out some hills.
Big mistake - I'm not fit enough to do hills. I think I'd need another half dozen gears on the bike to get up some of these hills.
Topped out at 250 metres above sea level (having started at sea level) and a total of 627 metres climbed.
The ice cream at the Orange Elephant was good though.
Knackered.

| Exe SWM dinghy sail | 2023-08-30 | A lovely sail with Malcolm B in the Wayfarer. Out to the Exe Safe Water Mark and a little way beyond. Lunch on the beach and an ice cream at the Beach Cafe. The wind was mostly F3/F4 with occasional gusts to F5. A lovely sail.
And then used the new electric winch at SYC to retrieve the Wayfarer.

| Out to sea dinghy cruise | 2021-06-12 | About 16 boats sailed down from SYC to the Pole Sands and Beach Cafe. Then a little way out to sea (up and down around the safe water mark). A little bouncy for about 100 yards in the swashway as the last of the ebbing tide meet the sea breeze. Comparatively little screaming heard from the crew.
