Into Exeter to the Double Locks with Paul B. First time he'd been on a push bike in 2 decades. Even more amazingly, the purpose was the first Critical Error meet up since the last gig 26 years ago.Sadly without Steve Mav…
A bike ride along the Exe Estuary and canal to meet up with Rose and Midge for the first time in ages. Wobbled back along the cycle path and stopped at SYC for a quick view of the 2nd day of the Exe Regatta.
Into Exeter and Dawlish with Liz for some shopping. Headwind on the way out.
Into Exeter looking at double glazing (shut - would be dull) and kayaks (much more interesting).
A wet and bouncy tender ride out to Triskelle in a F5 / F6. Then motored up to The Turf to lock into the canal ready for Triskelle's mast to come down tomorrow.
Post work ride. Back via the Turf Locks to ask Mark S how his hangover was - given that Exeter City won promotion the previous evening.
Stopped at the Turf on the way back. A little windy on the way back.
Ride back from the Turf Locks
Post work pint at The Turf Locks. Looks as though I needed a pint as the average speed of 16.5 mph is quite good for me. There was a slight tail wind - but not that strong.
Up to The Turf Locks in our new Wavesport Gemini to test out whether it is leaking excessively. On the previous Saturday's training we capsized the thing a couple of times and at the end of the day it needed to be draine…
A paddle in the Canadian canoe from SYC up past Topsham to just a bit beyond the motorway bridge. Stopped at the Turf Locks to watch some yachts coming out from their winter quarters.
Round to Lympstone and back (via the Turf Locks again).
Round to Exmouth and back. Stopped at the Turf Locks for a pint on the way back. And then another pint when Gerry H appeared. Quite a strong wind but mostly on the side until it moved to being dead on the nose after leav…
Slightly longer cycle ride today to make up for doing the last 2.5 miles yesterday by car (due to having broken three spokes on the rear wheel). So it was on the "spare bike" today which I hadn't ridden in about a decade…
After seven years of talking, planning and objections the bridge for the final section of the Exe Estuary cycle trail at Powderham finally went in. Of course, we weren't cycling on the way to the Turf Locks
From Cockwood Harbour to SYC and then on to the Turf, Then back again via Bull Hill Bank so Scooby could have a bit of a run about.
A lovely breeze and some sun for the first dinghy sail of the year in the Wayfarer. Pottered round the club for a while to see if anything would break after the winter period without any sails. All fine - so headed up ri…
A canoe trip from SYC to the Turf Pub on the Exe Estuary. Set out near low tide. Journey follows the just greater than paddle depth contour on the way out and later, with the higher tide, on the way back.
From near Powderham Church towards the Turf Locks and back again
