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.

Food shopping and then a flat ride to the Red House. Too many bloody idiots on the Powderham road to want to do again at the weekend. Surprisingly still 127 metres climbed.

Short rainy cycle ride

Down to Dawlish Warren for bread and to book the bike in for a desperately needed service. Then a flat ride along to the Red House. Only 126 metres climbed.

On noisy just serviced graunchy Triban :-(

Liz bike ride to the Red House

The best-preserved group of prehistoric houses in all of Western Europe. Stunning to think that this group of houses is 5000 years old - older than the pyramids or Stonehenge. A coach load of American tourists disgorged…

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 Res…

From Mylor Harbour to Loe Beach for lunch. Then back via the Pandora Inn (to beach and empty out some water). Lovely early summer's day. Bit shorter than planned but that meant be could meet up with Derek and Ruth H for…

From Tregunwith Farm camping down to The Pandora Inn for dinner.

Down to Tregunwith Farm again with the campervan so a first night's dinner at the Pandora.

A walk into St Agnes to the Railway Inn. Served Aspall's cider, Guiness and the haddock and chips were fine for just over a tenner. Recommended.

Dinner at the Pandorra Inn.

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.

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 even…

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.

The community run pub on Rosay was a couple of miles from the great, free (gratuities accepted) "camper van aire" we were staying at near the ferry terminal in Brinian. Big thanks to the hosts Martin and Vivian - search…

With the news that we've sprung a leak at home, the leisurely trip home was cancelled and we left York a day early to head home. Two hundred miles is about a much as we want to do in the van in a day so we stopped at the…

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!

From Mylor to the Pandora Inn and on to Feock. The Pandora Inn sadly burned down but has now been re-built. Well be back for more fish platters and cheesy chips

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)

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 Li…

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.

Sixteenth anniversary dinner at the Pandora Inn on the Fal. Only a day late but it was raining yesterday. Lovely food and the Rattler was good too. Sod of a hill on the way "home" when full of food and drink.

First canoe trip of the 2015 summer holiday. From Mylor harbour, a little way up Restronguet creek up past the Pandora Inn, on to Looe Beach and then back via Mylor Creek. Had a kingfisher with us for quite a way up Mylo…

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!

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 padd…

Round to Lympstone for a very nice and rather spicy tomato soup in the Swan Inn. This ride takes me just over 500 miles since I started this regular cycling stuff back in mid October.

From Tregunwith Farm Campsite to the Pandora Inn on Restronguet Creek for dinner. Two pints of Rattler helped out on the walk back up the hill from the Pandora.

Into Exeter with Liz. First day in a week that the winds weren't above force 6! Still windy though so hard work on the way in and Mrs Lutzy's was full! Stopped at Dawlish Warren bike cafe to get the gears on Liz's bike "…
