| Dartmoor walk | 2016-06-05 | Because Scooby gave me such a nice welcome after being away for a week sailing (me - not Scooby), we took him for a walk on Dartmoor. Up high on the moor near the Warren House inn.
A lovely short walk on Dartmoor.

| Porthleven - drinking and dining | 2023-09-10 | Stayed at the rather nice and basic Treza Camping.
Then down into Porthleven for a pint or two and some food.
Saw Trudy and Colin from Llantwit at the Harbour Inn and then visited the very nice Ship Inn.
Find of the evening was The Mussel Shoal where we had truly excellent fish and chips (and another cider).

| Tregantle and the Finnygook | 2024-01-19 | An interesting walk through Tregantle Fort (a non-firing day on the ranges) and then lunch at the Finnygook Inn in Crafthole.
Quite a lot of uppy downy again.

| Carrick Roads and Restronguet Creek | 2019-07-14 | With the promised easterly being more like a southerly, there was a long enough fetch for some waves that weren't to Scooby's liking. So after lunch and some icecreams (which were to Scooby's liking) we diverted into Restronguet Creek for some quiet top-of-the-tide paddling past The Pandora and onto Point. Then back below the rather marvelous Tregunwith Farm campsite (£9 / night for 2 adults, 1 dog, 1 camper van, 1 car and a canoe) and back to Mylor Yacht Harbour.

| Helford River | 2018-09-06 | A short walk down to one of our favourite canoeing spots on the Helford - without a canoe this time.
This is where Scooby previously learnt to swim just for the fun of it so Liz was keen to take him back for another paddle.

| Doddiscombsleigh - without going to the Nobody Inn | 2015-09-06 | A sunny Sunday walk round the hills surrounding Doddiscombsleigh. The suggested footpath half way round didn't look right so we ended up doing most of the walk on quiet country lanes.

| Anniversary dinner at the Pandora Inn | 2014-09-11 | After the 6.5 miles yomp round St Anthony Head, another mile and half to the Pandora Inn for our anniversary dinner. Fifteen years married, 21 years together and 30 years since we met. Less for murder as they say (and Liz never reads this blog - I think)!

| Dinner at The Pandora | 2015-09-22 | Lovely fish pie dinner at the "Pan". After a nine mile walk earlier in the day, the drag back up the hill from The Pandora after dinner was just what Lizzie wanted!

| Mylor Bridge to the Pandora | 2014-09-06 | Lovely dinner at the Pandora Inn - first of the holiday. The 1 in 4 hill on the way back was a bit of an ask when full of Cornish Ratler and Gurnard (or Guiness and Mackerel in Lizzie's case)

| Dawlish - Bank Holiday Monday | 2016-03-28 | Dawlish in the rain and hail on Easter Bank Holiday Monday! A first test of the Edge 500 after finally managing to reset it. The device had stopped recording and factory resets didnt help. Finally found something called a AutoLocate reset (Lap + Start + Power as a reminder for when in happens again).
Looks as though the elevation recording still needs re-calibrating!
Most of the photos are from a Warren walk in the morning (when the tide was in and the sun shining) rather than the afternoon walk (when the tide was out and it was raining).

| Canoe round the Pole Sands | 2017-10-08 | A paddle round the Pole Sands. Not enough wind to go sailing so we decided to take the hound for a paddle round the Pole Sands.
With a 4.2m springs tide, there was a lot of water sluicing out past Exmouth Docks. However, as we were quite early there wasn't much Pole Sands.So we turned right and took the hound to groyne 9 on Dawlish Warren for a bit. Then out to the Pole Sands and "Islandia".

| First beach cafe sail of 2015 | 2015-04-19 | A down river sail from SYC to the Exmouth beach cafe.
Strange winds - a bit of everything. Off Cockwood the NE wind met a sea breeze and shifted 180 degrees! It did this on both the way down and the way back. Coming back to the Club the wind got a bit lively for the last 5 minutes of the sail.

| Dawlish Warren Kayaking | 2020-05-20 | First time down to Dawlish Warren in the new Sea Eagle kayak.
Lovely day - there was plenty of mist that came and went but that didn't detract from it.
Good test for the new kayak and I'm very pleased with it.
Less pleased that the GPS ran out of battery on the way back. Whoops.
