| Straight Point and Exmouth Docks | 2017-05-07 | 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 Exmouth Marina whch was interesting. I'd not been into Exmouth Marina before in anything bigger than a RIB so going in under the lifting bridge in a 30 foot yacht was interesting.

| Exmouth and back | 2019-07-22 | Round to Exmouth and back with Liz.
The home made banana and chocolate cake at Exmouth and the double scoop Salcombe Dairy icecreams at Lympstone ensured we weren't calorie negative!

| Exmouth and back | 2017-07-30 | 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 leaving the pub!
The birds in the photos were by the Turf Locks. I thought they only "grouped up" like this just before they headed south for the winter and it's too early for that...

| Round to Exmouth | 2017-08-14 | Round to Maer Rocks at Exmouth. Started raining just as I got to Exmouth. The last seven miles straight into the wind and the rain were hard work.

| A dog walk and an accident | 2017-11-18 | A van ride round to Exmouth to give Scooby a walk on his favourite beach.
Unfortunately, Scooby jumped a rock while chasing the ball but didn't spot the deep ditch on the other side. Scooby went head over heels and tore holes in both front legs.
Two hours later Scooby was under sedation at the vets being stitched together again!

| Exmouth and back | 2019-01-11 | Round to Exmouth an back. The first solo ride after a Xmas lurgie and I clearly wasn't fully over it. By the time I got to Cockwood Harbour I was spinning out. For the first time ever, I couldn't ride up the hill in Cockwood - and I had to stop a couple of times just walking up the hill. More convalescence required!

| Exmouth Xmas dog walk | 2019-12-30 | Seems everyone else in Devon had the same idea and took their dogs to Exmouth for a low tide dog walk.
Think the phone GPS must be in a strop - don't think we reached 64 mph.

| Exmouth cycle ride | 2020-07-31 | Round to Exmouth. Seemed harder work than usual. Maybe because of the head wind on the last seven miles and also it was a hot day.

| More Dart Sailing | 2021-08-25 | Out with an ebbing Spring tide. With 14-15 knot winds from the east, the channel past Exmouth beach had some reasonable (1 metre-ish) wind against tide waves. So we turned round and came back against the tide. Easy when there is wind - slightly harder (even on a Dart) when the wind drops!

| Scooby hound at Sandy Bay with a GPS | 2014-03-03 | Just for a change, we put the GPS on Scooby hound this time. Instead of the 3 miles we cover on this walk, Scooby managed to do 9. Click the Replay GPS Track tab to get an impression of Scooby haring backwards and forwards along the beach! Double click on the map to zoom in and see the hound's track from one side of the beach to the other, A lovely winter's day with a few surfers out and lots of ships in the bay.

| Exmouth to Sandy Bay | 2015-10-12 | A glorious sunny August summer's day in the middle of October! So we took Scooby for one of his favourite beach walks along the start of the Jurassic Coast to Sandy Bay. The cafe at the holiday camp was open and surprisingly pleasant! Watched the Royal Marines shoot things. Scooby mithered when we tried to sit on the beach for a bit and read - clearly not correct beach behaviour!

| Last days of summer? | 2016-10-02 | A lovely summy summer's day - maybe one of the last of 2016?
So we took Scooby on one of his favourite beach walks - from Exmouth to Sandy Bay.
Got there a little late - just past low tide - so as we were unlikely to get back round Orcombe rocks without getting a bit wet on teh way back, we came back on the cliff top walk.

| Round to Exmouth and back | 2016-10-25 | I missed out on yesterday's cycle ride due to the incessant rain and being a wuss. To make up, today's ride was round to Exmouth and the start of the Jurassic Coast.
On the way out I told myself that I'd catch the ferry back. When I was there I thought "that wasn't so" bad so I rode back.
It's a long way for someone like me!

| Exmouth and back | 2016-12-28 | A slightly longer cycle ride than usual. Average speed would probably have been a fair bit better if it wasn't for a strong wind right on the nose for the last 6 miles.

| First bike ride of 2017 | 2017-01-03 | Round to Exmouth and back. And today's lesson learned is not to eat a cheese and tomato toastie with chips at the Exmouth beach cafe immediately before heading off back into the wind for umpteen miles...

| Budleigh on a tandem | 2017-01-14 | Darts Farm, Topsham to Budleigh Salterton and back. Liz's birthday present - a ride on a tandem. Quite a nice tandem - a Dawes hired from Darts Farm at Topsham.
Some of the cycle track between Exmouth and Budleigh was being dug up so we had to go "off piste" for a bit and that meant going up some hills!
