| 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.

| Morte Point | 2023-09-16 | With Scooby now a bit of an old boy, we did a shorter than usual walk round Morte Point. Age is no barrier to him lunging for sheep (he's on the lead) and eating sheep shit.

| Morthoe walk | 2022-09-18 | A slightly new take on an old favourite walk around Morthoe.
A long walk for us - especially given the slightly fearsome uppy/downy bits on the coast path.
The final climb to Morte Point was just as super-scary as I remembered it.

| Back to Morthoe | 2019-04-25 | Back to Lizzie's favourite campervan site - North Morte Farm at Morthoe.
A rather wet and windy day (it got windier!) so we did a pub crawl of all of Morthoe's pubs (the Chichester Arms and the Ship Aground) and then took some rather good fish and chips to the bench below Morthoe Cemetary for a stunning view over Woolacombe Bay.

| Morthoe Fish and Chips | 2021-05-17 | First campervan trip of the year. To North Morte Farm as usual. Got lucky with weather - much better than forecast.
Out towards Morthoe Point for our fish and chips.

| Woolacombe and Putsborough | 2017-09-22 | Scooby wouldnt have been happy if we'd come to north Devon and not given him a run along Woolacombe Beach at low tide. In a fairly wet and windy two week holiday, this was the only walk where we actually got soaked by the rain. However, we dried out a bit in the cafe at Putsborough and then the walk back in the wind meant that we were dry by the time we got back to the camper van on Marine Drive.
The photos include a couple from North Morte campsite looking at the sunset over Lundy Island.

| Straight Point Paddling | 2023-06-15 | A near enough perfect day's paddling. Out with the tide against just the start of a sea breeze. Then along the coast to Straight Point. Flat calm and pretty much no wind.
The Marines were firing otherwise I'd have gone on further.
Then back via the beach cafe (the choccie ice cream not as nice as Route 2's) and then pushed back up the estuary by the tide and building sea breeze. Hardly a cloud in the sky. Just about perfect.

| Baggy Point | 2023-04-02 | Another yomp round Baggy Point. Very nice walk - a bit wet / muddy climbing back up from Croyde across to Putsborough.
Scooby Hound a bit distressed to only get 15 minutes of football on Woolacombe Beach but he is an old boy now.

| Dartmouth to Plymouth | 2023-06-18 | A very gentle sail and motor from Dittisham on the Dart round to QAB in Plymouth.
With the gentle wind both Start Point and Prawle Point were pussycats even though it was Springs.
We probably sailed about half the way from Start to Plymouth with a fair amount of tidal assist.
Very pleasant gentle summer's day sailing.
Missed the planned train back from Plymouth due to a taxi cock up! Derek H continuing on to Falmouth (for the Scillies) the next day.
