| New Powderham bridge | 2014-09-28 | 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

| Potarch Bridge - meeting old friends | 2026-06-12 | 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 D and Colin at Potarch Cafe - logon for photos. First meet up in over 20 years!

| Tregunwith Farm to Flushing | 2025-07-14 | 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 didn't close out India quick enough, we headed to the (newly spotted) beer garden at the Royal Sovereign to celebrate the later win.
Back the same route we came. Splendid day out.

| Budleigh to Otterton hound walk | 2020-06-19 | 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 but did see their teeth marks on trees.

| Dogmarsh Bridge Fingle Bridge | 2015-10-19 | 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 completely covered in scaffolding and tarpaulins.

| Dogmarsh Bridge to Fingle Bridge | 2015-03-28 | 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 painful as last time (but only just got the wedding ring off before the swelling was too great).

| Liz and Jill go large | 2013-06-14 | Too much talking too much wind and too much carrot cake to make for a respectable average speed but not bad on the distance front. Next week the girls will be cycling to Exmouth and back apparently.
