Lovely weather today so we headed up the hill to Mannlichen. Cows enjoying the sunshine in the village.
Fording a stream between Mannlichen and Scheidegg.
The pool at Scheidegg. It freezes and is snowed over in winter and you wouldn’t know it was there.
Stunning views on the way back to the village.
Up early this morning for the Birmingham to Zurich shuttle. Bye bye Birmingham.
It doesn’t take long at 530 mph.
Hello Zurich.
The weather looked distinctly autumnal today, so we stayed local and had a wander round to North Sands for lunch, followed by ice cream at the surf shack at South Sands. Views of the beaches from the ferry back to town.
Lots of yachts on Victoria pontoon.
Dinner at the Fortescue tonight, then home tomorrow.
Lovely curry in Kingsbridge last night.
Last light over Salcombe harbour.
This morning we got a taxi to a place called Bantham, which is the surf capital of South Devon. Very picturesque.
Nice walk along the coast to Hope Cove.
We have a table booked for dinner here this evening, and hopefully our taxi driver will be back to pick us up later.
Caught the bus to Kingsbridge and set off on a circular walk up through town and down to Bowcombe Creek. The creek is separated from the estuary by a low bridge, so there are few boats and lots of wildlife.
The southern end of the creek is very picturesque, and benches have been provided for the weary walkers.
We’re back in Kingsbridge having a pint as I write this. Curry later!
Absolutely pouring when we looked out of our window this morning. Not to worry, we need some shopping from Kingsbridge and we can have a fishy lunch at the Start Bay Inn. The blackboard looks particularly good today.
The rain stopped after lunch so we had a wander around Torcross. Ducks.
Sherman tank from Operation Tiger in WW2.
The beach. The boat DH92 in the foreground is the one that catches the fish for the Start Bay Inn.
We bought bread, clotted cream and scones, so dinner should be good.
The weather looked distinctly changeable this morning, but we thought we might get lucky if we avoided the coastline. We were the only passengers on the ferry to East Portlemouth.
Deserted beach at Mill Bay.
Lovely old cottages at West Prawle.
Our walk takes us across a lot of farmland as we head north away from the coast.
Quite steep in places!
Our route. About 7 miles.
Everyone was wrong about the weather. We had the ferry to ourselves again on the way back.
