A walk round the local fields. Scooby shows his enthusiasm for 2nd walk in one morning!
Lizs first cycle ride in ages and first ride on new cycle track between Powderham church and the Turf Locks
A lovely sunny May day with a F3 wind and little tide. Up to about the Goat Walk.
A fine day if a little breezy. Small tide so fairly easy paddling - especially on the way back which was wind and tide assisted.
A paddle up river from SYC to the Goat Walk at Topsham. No wind on the way up. A F3 sea breeze filled in about half way back necessitating a bit more paddling.
Safety boat duty for a very enjoyable up river dinghy cruise from SYC. Thought there was a pretty good chance the wind would drop and we'd be towing lots of people home. The wind mostly held so so good day out!
First time out on the Wayfarer for quite some time. The wind didn't manage the promised F3 / F4 and we ran out of wind trying to get past Topsham. A seal popped its head out the water about 10 yards away from us and watc…
Went up river to about the Goat Walk and then back again. Liz did some helming for about the 3rd time in the 10 years we've been sailing on the Exe. Then some on water reefing practice and then back to SYC for the "Commo…
A lovely evening's sail up to the Goat Walk at Topsham. Sun and a decent wind (which only died as the last couple of boats arrived back). We had a brief detour a little way down the Clyst taking advantage of the high tid…
A lovely sail up to the Goat Walk at Topsham. We had planned to go as far as the motorway bridge but the wind didnt have the west in it that the forecast said it would. Met Malcolm and Graham at the Goat Walk. The max sp…
On safety boat duty for the first SYC dinghy cruise event of 2013. Lovely weather and a good wind but not much water on the neap tide. Upriver to the Goat Walk at Topsham.
A Monday evening sail to the Goat Walk - quite gusty.
An up river dinghy cruise from SYC to the Goat Walk. Light winds on the way back. About 15 boats out.
A trip up river to the Goat Walk before the weekend gales came in
A lovely breeze and some sun for the first dinghy sail of the year in the Wayfarer. Pottered round the club for a while to see if anything would break after the winter period without any sails. All fine - so headed up ri…
Round the local fields with doggie
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…
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…
