St Anthony Head hound walk
Dogs 6.2 miles 3 hours

Too windy for canoeing (F5/6 from the east) so a yomp with the hound around St Anthony Head. Top walk with just about the right amount of up and downiness.

Picklecombe to King William dockyard
Dogs 7.9 miles 3 hours

From Fort Picklecombe to Mount Edgecumbe and then across the Cremyl Ferry to the King William dock yards. Fearnley Whittingstalls River Cottage Canteen wouldnt serve us. Something about a wet muddy dog. Their loss. The…

Studland and Old Harry Rocks
Dogs 4.0 miles 2 hours

Over the chain ferry at Sandbanks and on to Studland for a walk past Old Harry Rocks and up Ballard Down. Rain came in - as predicted - in the second half of the walk. Quite a breezy day with overfalls to the south of Ol…

2200 miles cycled this year
Bikes 10.7 miles 1 hours

With the start of Storm Dylan bringing in some winds, I cycled just far enough to reach 2200 miles in 2017 (and far enough to prove I'd finally fixed the slow puncture that had been giving me grief).

Helford River
Dogs 1.8 miles 1 hours

A short walk down to one of our favourite canoeing spots on the Helford - without a canoe this time. This is where Scooby previously learnt to swim just for the fun of it so Liz was keen to take him back for another padd…

Fowey to Megavissey
Dogs 26.0 miles 5 hours

A walk down into Fowey and then a ferry from Fowey to Megavissey. On the trip into Fowey the ferry had spotted a large whale and porpoises but no such luck on our trip. From Megavissey, we walked round to Portmellon. The…

Topsham ferry cycle ride
Bikes 10.7 miles 1 hours

A sort, quick ride to Topsham Ferry - to get a ride in before Liz goes to work. Would probably have broken 11 mph average if not stopping at Spar for provisions.

Up to the Topsham foot ferry with Liz after work.

Flat cycle ride
Bikes 10.7 miles 1 hours

With it being a rainy, windy Tuesday morning, we thought the cycle path might be clear enough of people to use. Liz's first 11mph ride in a long time.

Kirkwall to Westray ferry
Miscellaneous 19.6 miles 1 hours

From Kirkwall on the mainland across to Rapness on the island of Westray. Some strong (4.5 knot) currents (according to Navionics) on the way. Liz very grateful that the strong winds from the north had abated for a while…

Lerwick to Aberdeen ferry
Miscellaneous 213.6 miles 12 hours

Ferry back from Lerwick on Shetland to Aberdeen. As we were in the last remaining pet friendly cabin down in the ships bilges somewhere, the GPS didn't have a signal most of the time so the track is a little "creative" (…

Night on the town in Lerwick
Miscellaneous 0.8 miles 0 hours

Ferry back over as foot passengers from Bressay to Lerwick for an early evening trip round the town. A pint in the Thule Bar followed by dinner and a pint in The Dowry followed by live folk music and a couple of pints up…
