Walk with wife and hound to Mylor for some breakfast. Then along to watch the kids from Restronguet Sailing Club playing "how many times can you capsize a Mirror" in the F5ish winds
Round from Tregunwith Farm to Flushing to meet up with Jacqui, Mike and Charlotte. Stopped at the cafe at Mylor Bridge for a fine brunch (eggs royale for me), and then on via the coast path to Flushing. Because England d…
A round trip from Mylor Bridge to Flushing and then back via Mylor Harbour. Very nice lunch at the cafe at Mylor harbour.
Scooby's been complaining about "just going round the block" so we took him for a stroll from Budleigh Salterton to Otterton via East Budleigh (birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh). Didn't see any beavers in the Otter River…
Off the Lerwick to Aberdeen ferry at 07:00 and along to the river Dee to Potarch Bridge to meet one of Liz's childhood friends. Arrived a couple of hours early so went for a short stomp around the local woods. Met Claire…
From Castle Drogo down to Fingle Bridge for a coffee and cake. Scooby Hound liked the walk.
Maintenance bike ride
A slow puncture put paid to the ride into Exeter. Got back without having to change the tyre but it did need pumping up a couple of times.
Along the Teign Valley as the trees start to change colour for the autumn. We've done this walk a few times before but it was unusual this time due to the "art in the woods" (see the photos) and Castle Drogo being comple…
Up the Exe stuary to Topsham and under the motorway bridge.
With Liz and Julian from Dogmarsh Bridge to Fingle Bridge. Wedding at pub at Fingle Bridge meant no river side drinkies. Wedding ring finger got bitten by something again - finger badly swollen but not anywhere near as…
After seven years of talking, planning and objections the bridge for the final section of the Exe Estuary cycle trail at Powderham finally went in. Of course, we weren't cycling on the way to the Turf Locks
Along the Teign Valley below Castle Drogo. First sun in weeks but it doesnt get high enough to reach the floor of the gorge. Scooby celebrated by going AWOL for 5 minutes.
To the swing bridges and back
Along the estuary and canal to the swing bridges and back. The start of Lizs cycle training apparently
Along the estuary and canal to the Swing Bridge and back again with a detour to Powderham Castle for supplies
An old favourite. From Tregunwith Farm to Mylor Bridge, on to Mylor Harbour and then along the estuary to Flushing. Some sun, some rain and an icecream.
<p>A lovely sail down from Mylor (Falmouth) down and round The Lizard. </p><p> Once round The Lizard things became a little more arduous as we didn't have the angle on the wind we'd hoped for and had to motor sail into s…
<p>The plan had been to "nip round the corner" (i.e. past The Lizard) and then spend a night at Newlyn before heading off across the Celtic Sea to Cork, Ireland. </p><p> However, after spending quite a while comparing se…
Another lovely day paddling on the Fal. Went up Restronguet Creek past The Pandora to Devoran. As the tide has just turned, we didn't go any further. Then back via Loe Beach for an ice cream.
From Mylor Harbour to Loe Beach for lunch. Then back via the Pandora Inn (to beach and empty out some water). Lovely early summer's day. Bit shorter than planned but that meant be could meet up with Derek and Ruth H for…
A dog walk from Tregunwith Farm to Mylor Harbour. Managed to avoid the heaviest rain while having coffee at Mylor.
After a couple of days getting up early to get the tides for kayaking, we had a lazy day with a late morning wander down to Mylor Harbour for a late breakfast / early lunch.
Breakfast at Mylor Harbour cafe and then a quick doggie walk / paddle before heading home from a long canoeing weekend at Falmouth.
On one of the stunning summer days in 2018 we put the canoe in at Mylor and paddled up towards Truro - getting just a little way past Malpas. Just about everything was great - the tides were as planned, the sun was hot a…
From Tregunwith Farm campsite to Mylor Harbour and a little way beyond. Saw Pat T and Graham I just coming back from a Tideway outing.
First canoe trip of the 2015 summer holiday. From Mylor harbour, a little way up Restronguet creek up past the Pandora Inn, on to Looe Beach and then back via Mylor Creek. Had a kingfisher with us for quite a way up Mylo…
A circular route to Flushing and back via Mylor Harbour
A walk along Mylor Creek to Mylor Harbour for breakfast. Sat on the beach and watched some boats getting surprised by how windy it was.
From Mylor Harbour to Trelissick and back via Looe Beach. Tried teaching Scooby to swim at Looe Beach but he was too much of a wuss - even for strawberry ice cream.
