Axmouth, Nr Seaton February 2014

At last a dry sunny day to enjoy a walk!  starting from the Harbour Inn and walking along the road beside the River Axe, we enjoyed the view of the Seaton Tram and the birds. a steep climb through the golf club and then a view of the Axe from the top of the hill.  Back to the Harbour Inn for a delicious lunch.

A beautiful day with stunning views across the sea to the Mew Stone which had it's own halo of mist!

Tarr Steps, Exmoor, Devon - 31st August 2013

A visit to Tarr Steps after they were washed away by heavy rain water last year, and have since been reconstructed was a must on a visit to the region.  Down a long lane, and with a new visitors centre at the top of the hill, there is a 1/2 mile walk down to the bridge.  This is still an unspoilt spot.

 

Walk along the South West Coast Path - Turnchapel to Hooe - Sunday 18th August 2013

Despite changeable weather we decided to take a chance and stretch our legs.  so parking at Turnchapel Quay and walking along the footpath to Hooe.  The sun came out and it was a glorious day!

the photos tell a better tale than words!

this dog made us jump!

Lopwell Dam, Nr Plymouth - July 2013

The barn at Lopwell Barn has recently been refurbished and now has a lovely cafe. At low tide there is a footpath across the dam, leading to a nature walk.  However, walkers have to make note of the tides, as the path is then submerged.  In this photo, the marker showed the path 6' under!!

Steam train from ' Up North' makes a flying visit! Saturday 27th April 2013

Train enthusiasts made the long journey from the Midlands to Plymouth today, and travelling with them were Phil and Andy, our friends from Wolverhampton.  There had to be several stops en route to stoke the furnaces, but that is part of the charm, I am told.

we whisked them off to see the sea, and to have lunch at River Cottage at Royal William Yard and then, we all admired the engines, before they waves good bye, with a toot, and puff of smoke

St George's Day Run with the Devon Vintage Car Club - sunday 21st April 2013

The Club members and their cars congregated in the car park at Endsleigh Garden Centre just outside Ivybridge on this sunday morning.  At 12 o'clock we all set off with our treasure hunt clues, and drove around the back lanes of Plymouth and surrounding areas until we got to Mount Batten.  Off again and returning to Endsleigh for lunch.  I was prepared for this drive by wearing an old sheepskin coat and hat, which might not be the height of fashion, it certainly kept the cold wind at bay!
