This years Epic Summer trip

[barryd]

And finally stopped for a snack in the lovely town of Kingsbridge. There is a ferry that goes from Salcombe all the way up to Kingsbridge and I have always wanted to Kayak it but timing is always a bit tricky. It dries out completely here.

Come with me on a ride through Salcombe terrorising tourists on the Honda Biff Chariot!

Lovely down in Salcombe again today. Listened to a girl playing guitar and singing for a while. More "Nashville" type stuff but pretty good.

I forgot when we got back just now I filmed the ride the other day from Batson Creek through Salcombe and along the front to north and south sands. Love pootling along through there. Ideal scooter territory.

Sadly it's longer that 3 minutes.

Only just Kev. I had to slow it down as I went through so fast nobody would see anything

There seemed to be a lot of Jay walkers there Barry?

I know. I was a bit kinder than I normally am to them. Probably because I knew I was on camera.

Few pics from this afternoon and early evening. West side this time around Hope Cove again. Still a bit choppy that side but the wind has dropped a lot now.

Dilemma time now. Not sure if we should go up to Polperro / Looe area tomorrow afternoon until Friday when we have to move to North Devon or to stay here until Friday morning. Neither of us feel ready to move but it would be nice to see somewhere we have not been for many years.

Wear ear plugs next time Barry. That is some noise the wind makes when it enters one ear and leaves through the other >> >>> >>>

So it looks like Cornwall lost. Staying here until Friday now. Back at South Milton on the farm CL after three nights riding out the storm on hookup and a manicured lawn. Bit of a hangover this morning which wasn't great as yet again I had a bit of work to do. Don't these people realise I am retired?

Still got Covid Ebola but I think its on its way out. The Grumbleweed blonde from France sorted it last night I think. Not doing much as I might be needed again. Done some serious invoicing of late. , might have a ride to Bantham. Michelle thinks she is getting my lurgy.

There is actually a distant sea view from here.

Finally got a short trip out. Lovely day though.

Shorts and flip flops sat outside today.

I love this little house on the mouth of the River Avon at Bantham. Looks like something out of Harry Potter.

Got better eyes than me.

Some rows going on about that boathouse at the moment Barry. The owner wants to develop it as a holiday let but there's a lot of local opposition apparently.
