A short walk to dinner from Stoke Barton Campsite on Hartland Point. Hartland Point is a scary place if you think about sailing near it in the wind or fog and the granite "teeth" of the rocks only enhance this. The Hartl…
On David K's trimaran Triskelle. From SYC on the Exe up to Stoke Gabriel up the Dart. Interesting nosing up the Dart past Dittisham at low water. The sail down was fun - F4 gusting F6 as forecast with maybe only one squa…
Left Triskelle anchored and wandered round Stoke Gabriel. Saw the 1000 year old yew tree in the church grounds and then had lunch at The River Shack. Banged my head on a tree somewhat younger than 1000 years old while wa…
Down from Stoke Gabriel (via Flat Owers) to a mooring off Dittisham ready for an (vaguely) early departure the next day. Couple of pints in The Ferry Boat Inn.
A ride to DIY store that racked up Liz's 2020th mile in 20202
In to Marsh Barton to Kynaston's to pick up repaired campervan.
Into Marsh Barton and back
To Dawlish Warren to pick up bread and cake. To Topsham, saw Bob & Pauline on bench, then to eat the cake. To Marsh Barton to pick up DIY stuff. Bastard southerly head wind on the way back.
Into Marsh Barton and Bakers Yard for some army Surplus and Brooks Basics shopping. Then on to Lutzy's for a coffee and pastry on the Quay.
Back into Exeter to buy a replacement car after our Citroen Xsara estate died after just 77k miles.
Bike ride into town to look for a new old car given that our Citroen has just dies with only 77k on the clock.
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 too…
If you like your history or archaeology, Rousay is a simply stunning place! Known, apparently, as "the Egypt of the north" for the concentration of ancient sites, a few miles along the south west coast of Rousay is full…
On to Beacon Farm Cottage camp site and the only day of the two weeks that was really lost to the weather. As soon as we got to the campsite and sat down to admire the view, the fog and mizzle came in with a vengeance.…
From Tregunwith Farm camping down to The Pandora Inn for dinner.
From Beacone Cottage Fram along the coast path to chat to a very friendly chappie in the St Agnes Head NCI lookot. Then on lunch in a cafe overlooking the beach at Trevaunce and then, of course, some Scooby "ball action"…
Round to Darts Farm and Topsham with Liz to buy some new walking boots.
Round to Darts Farm. Stopped at Topsham Quay to see who was working on their boat and for coffee and a hot cross bun.
In the rain and mist. Always seems to be mizzly when we come to St Agnes. Wheal Coates mine very atmospheric in the mist. Surprised at how little beach there was at Chapel Porth at mid tide. We'll have to come back close…
A walk down from Bolberry Farm Camping to Hope Cove for a pint. Fxxx me - £10 for two pints! Are we in London? Wow. Nice walk and campsite though.
A dog walk from Tregunwith Farm to Mylor Harbour. Managed to avoid the heaviest rain while having coffee at Mylor.
Dinner at the Pandorra Inn.
Scooby Hound was feeling a bit poorly (not eating - very unlike him) so his walk on Perranporth was cancelled). My mid afternoon he'd picked up and wolfed down a late lunch. So we had a short walk to a alter lunch at the…
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.
Dinner at The White Hart in St Teath. Nice enough pub with decent food.
Tye's first outing at Woolacombe Beach. Didn't disgrace us too much - except at the end when he went a bit "long range" and was slow coming back when called. Overall - a success. A start of the season 3 night stay at No…
Four beaches in one walk - Scooby in doggie heaven. In the campervan at the very nice Trehias Farm Camping - near Trevose Head (just west of Padstow). Walk via Treyarnon Bay, Constantine Bay, Long Cove and Harlyn Beach -…
On yet another stunning 2018 summer's day, we put the canoe in just past the Helford Passage and paddled up to Geewk at the top of the Helford. Then a dawdle back stopping at an old lime quay. Highlight of the day for Li…
Walking the hound from Tregunwith to the Pandorra Inn. At Tregunwith Farm with the camper van - great location, friendly owners, relaxed atmosphere and great prices. Don't tell anyone else!
Round to Lympstone and then on to Darts Farm to buy some new walking boots for Liz.
