| 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).

| Ore Stone and back - Chaos | 2015-09-26 | Trial SYC "race" from Exe safe water mark, round the Teignmouth outfall buoy, round the Ore Stone and back to the Exe SWM.
A really great day's sailing. Relaxed and sunny on the downwind leg to the Ore Stone and really good sailing on the upwind leg back to the Exe SWM. The wind moved round a little to the east on the way back making (for us) a straight line sail; pretty much all the way back.
The "Chaos" in the title refers the the race's putative title - "CHase Around the Ore Stone"

| 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.

| Round Chagford | 2015-11-09 | The plan was do walk some of the high moor from Frenchbeer Rock but when we got there it was just too windy and damp. So instead we retreated to Chagford and did a lower level moor walk around Chagford.

| Teign Estuary Paddling | 2022-07-08 | First paddle on the Teign Estuary.
Having lived so close for so long, it is surprising that this is the first time I've paddled on the Teign.
Pretty much a perfect paddle. Lots of sun, round the top of a neap tide and cooling sea breeze on the way back.
Marvellous!
