Scorhill on Dartmoor 2017-10-14 On Dartmoor with Jacqui, Mike, Madeleine, Liz, Martha and Scooby. Stone circles, parallelithons and Tors (actually Kestor Rock). Back via Chagford for a pint.
Logan Rock and Penberth Cove 2018-09-07 On to one of our favourite campsites - Treen (just near the Minack Theatre and Lands End). Photos are from the "nature ramble" that Liz went on - organised by the Treen pirate. Photos of Scooby at Penberth Cove are by Liz as the nature ramble also went that way.

Rock, Padstow and Stepper Point 2018-09-13 Staying at the rather nice (but rather expensive) campsite directly overlooking Polzeath beach, we drove down to Rock and caught the ferry over to Padstow. Padstow was heaving with tourists as expected (even on a Thursday in the middle of September). We then walked on past the famous Doom Bar and on to Stepper Point (on the west side of the entrance to the Camel Estuary). Then back along the sands of the Doom bar at low water to give Scooby hound a run.

Rock 2019-04-24 Back to Rock (opposite Padstow) for a slightly soggy walk along to the mouth of the Camel Estuary. Visited St Endoc Church - the last resting place of John Betjeman - and considered his lifetime's regret! Expensive lunch in the cafe above Rock Beach lifeboat station!

Dawlish Paddle 2022-08-26 From Cockwood round past Dawlish Warren to "Red Rock". Back via the Pole Sands. Trying out the RYA Safetrx app so that Liz can see, in real time, what trouble I am getting myself into,

Treen Campsite 2022-09-08 So after nearly a week of good exercise, it was so rainy today we hibernated at Treen Campsite. The predicted "weather window" at 5pm did happen and we got an hour without rain to visit the Logan Rock pub. The "gatekeeper" (or maitre d) at the pub is someone's grumpy granny. We'd have walked out but there are no other pubs within walking distance. Nice pint of Rattler though.
Polzeath, Pentire Point and The Rumps 2022-09-12 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 along to The Rumps (and ancient Brits cost fort). Quite scary - but not super scary - along the cliff top at time. Scooby Hound sad he wasn't allowed on any beach. Then on to Penmayne Farm in Rock.

Soggy Padstow 2022-09-13 Back to Padstow on the Rock ferry. Another very soggy day but we felt we ought to make the effort to get out and about a little bit. Scooby Hound grateful for beach run-arounds on Rock Beach and Lower Beach at Padstow. He didn't like the town much (getting trod on twice). On reflection, we missed a trick not going out for a paddle around low tide on the Camel. There's enough at the lower end of the estuary to make it an interesting paddle at low tide.
