| Morte Point | 2017-10-29 | From Lee Bay along the coast path to Bull Point lighthouse and then on around Morte Point.
Some big up and downie bits along the way and some scary (for me) cliff top paths!
Camera was happy with the sunlight though.

| Mortehoe | 2018-09-15 | Another one of Liz's favourite walks. From North Morte campsite down to Lee and then up and down the rather strenuous coast path round to Mortehoe Point.
The coast path coming up to Morte Point is genuinely scary for someone like me with just a hint of vertigo. Still - survived again!

| 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!

| Sandy Bay dog walk | 2016-12-27 | A walk along the beach from Exmouth to Sandy Bay and then back over the cliff top (as the tide was coming in to cut off a return journey round Orcombe Point).

| St Mawes to St Just In Roseland | 2017-03-19 | A circular walk round part of the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall.
From St Mawes up along the estuary to the old churchyard at St Just In Roseland. Then back inland to St Mawes. Stopped at Pineapple bay - at least that's what the sign there called it!

| 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!

| Eype, West Bay and Bridport | 2018-04-16 | From Eype over high (Jurassic) cliffs to West Bay. About a F4 but southerly so entering West Bay harbour by boat would have been problematic - and a bit bouncy one inside on the outer pontoons.
Then up by the Birt River to Bridport.
Not sure why the usually excellent South West Coastpath web site (https://www.southwestcoastpath.org.uk/) recommended going into Bridport - just some muddy fields and a housing estate!

| Iles Chausey to St Helier | 2018-05-31 | Out from the Iles Chausey via the northern passage. Look carefully at the chart and you'll see that the passage dries to a height of up to 4.5 metres! However, with a tidal range of 10 metres and the excellent French navigational markers and transits (which again can be seen on the chart at higher zooms), the passage pilotage was fine.
Iles Chausey was exceptional - a truly stunning place. What wasn't so good was all the flies that migrated from the rocks that were covered at high water and hitched a ride on the boats all the way to Jersey.
At Jersey, we anchored in St Aubins Bay waiting for enough water over the cill at St Helier marina.
