Wembury, Nr Plymouth - Saturday 13th November 2010

This walk was suggested by Annie and Kevin who met us at the car park at Wembury at 12 o'clock.  The circuit took us inland across fields around Langdon Court Hotel, Down Thomas, Bovisand, Heybrook Bay and then back on the coastal footpath to Wembury.

Loads of surfers in the sea.

Heading inland

We took the footpath away from the sea

Obviously early on in the walk, as we look fairly fresh??

The ford had become a stream.

Kevin showing us how to cross in style! Bob is looking and learning!

This way folks!

We crossed a couple of fields, one where sweet corn had just been harvested and another in which the farmer had sewn clover to enrich the soil. 

These 2 stiles lead us back to Down Thomas

Jumping down onto the road

Avoided this field!

Plymouth Breakwater from Bovisand

Bovisand

The chalets have a fantastic view.  One for sale at an asking price of £155,000!! 

We stopped here to eat our picnic.

Heybrook Bay

The Mewstone

Dave and Kevin heading from Heybrook Bay

We left the footpath to cross the beach.  Loads of seaweed made the going very slippery. 

Bob found a ball and immediately wanted to play!

Returning along the footpath, we can now see the end in sight

Having a well deserved cuppa at the end of the walk

We took 4 hours to complete this walk, but stopped for lunch overlooking the breakwater.
Dave's pedometer recorded a distance 10,000 strides equivalent to 5 miles.

Where are we going tomorrow?????
