We couldn't visit north Devon without giving Scooby Hound a blast along Woolacombe Beach at low tide. Scooby's a bit of an old boy now so we restricted his "ball action". He was still too puffed out at the end of the wal…

An unexpectedly short walk at Hartland Quay.We met some people coming the other way who said they and their dog had been chased by cows in the next field. Scooby Hound tries to eat cows... So we turned round and had humo…

Up the Bude Canal. Some locks and a "portage". After the 3rd lock the water got a bit gloopy and a bit low so we stopped at that point. Spent the paddle back debating whether the £5 fee was a rip off or we were glad to "…

The walking guide book we were using was sxxx! At least we thought it was. Wasn't so bad when we finally realised it was directing us _south_ along the Camel Trail (and not north towards Padstow as we'd assumed). Doh! A…

To the village of Pityme for a pint. Scooby demanded a bit more of a walk of his "restrictions" on Perranporth. The OS 1:25000 maps on the GPS found a "shortcut" through some fields of corn - came out right by Sharps Bre…

Scooby Hound would have the sulks for weeks if he found at we'd been to Cornwall an not given him a low tide walk at Perranporth. Sccoby's knocking on a bit but would still run until he drops - it's just that he'd drop a…

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…

From St Mawes on the Fal up the Percuil River just about as far as is navigable.

A lovely paddle up the Fowey from the Bodinnick Ferry to about 0.5 NM short of Lostwithiel. Turned round as river was clearly starting to ebb (a little bit ahead ahead of Fowey high water) and didn't fancy traversing mud…

From Millbrook up the Tamar to the entrance to the Lyhner River. Top paddling with lots of war like stuff in the Plymouth Dockyards juxtaposed with beautiful countryside on the other side. Next time, we'll take the car a…

Lizzie's favourite walk again. This time from the campsite on Maker Heights - just to give it a bit more up and downyness. Hot - so quite hard work for an eight mile walk.

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.

Because Treen Campsite was full with a VW Camper rally (with Seth Lakeman playing), we parked up in the rather splendid Treen village car park (£10 a night - the photo of the cruise ship taken from the car park).

A stomp around the North Devon coast on the only misty day of our stay at North Morte campsite

Coffee and cake in Sennen and, for Liz, a wander round the posh tat shop (the capstan house). Daft sods at Sennen don't allow dogs on to the beach until the end of September - they must lose so much business from people…

A fairly strenuous walk from Porthleven to Rinsey Head and back inland. The coast path from Porthleven to Rinsey Head had lots of up and downy bits. We fancied making it a circular walk rather than an "out and back" one…

Mostly a "re-do" of a previous walk with some slight changes after reaching Manaccan. Heavy rain for about 20 minutes. Annoyingly, I ripped my bike jacket on some thorns. Bloody annoyed - a very good jacket that I'd had…

From Helford Passage via Frenchman's Creek up into Mawgan Creek towards the top of the Helford Estuary. A little windy on the way back meant plenty of exercise!

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.

After putting up with three days of canoeing, Scooby gets some recompense with a walk along Perranporth beach. We walked 5 miles - he probably ran 15 miles.

Too windy for canoeing (F5/6 from the east) so a yomp with the hound around St Anthony Head. Top walk with just about the right amount of up and downiness.

A quick wander into "town" to allow Liz to peruse the tat shops and to give the hound a kick about on the beach. Track uploaded mainly to have something to hang Liz's photo of the holiday off. Can you guess which one she…

Our silver wedding anniversary meal at the Pandorra Inn on Restronguet Creek. In fact, it was a very sad day as we'd lost Scooby Hound at 05:00 that morning.

For a change, we went north from St Just In Roseland round to Messack Point for lunch. Very nice walk slightly spoiled by Scooby Hound trying to eat sheep shit and to play with electric cattle fences.

A decent off road walk from Heligan campsite down to Megavissey. Got rained on in Meva - a lot. Good coffee on the outer harbour wall.

A canoe trip from Loe beack up pass Trellisick and King Harry Ferry on to just past Malpas (on the way to Truro). It was a bit windy - force 5 ish - so we didn't go all the way to Truro although we'd got up very early on…

Actually the GPS track is just of Mawgan Porth but most of Scooby's walk was at Watergate Bay which is one bay to the west of here and quite a bit bigger. Good crab soup at the Beach Hut at Watergate Bay.

A round trip from Mylor Bridge to Flushing and then back via Mylor Harbour. Very nice lunch at the cafe at Mylor harbour.

Liz's second favourite walk. Around St Anthony's Head on the east side of the Fal Estuary. Scooby enjoyed himself immensely but had to be reduced to "two paw drive" when passing a herd of cows on the cliff edge,

Bloody guidebook! Just as well we had a mapping GPS with Ordnance Survey 1:25000 maps on it. And we still did 11 miles instead of 8! A day of frequent mist and fog meant that a lot of the views were more atmospheric / mi…
