Left click on the photos and you’ll get a much bigger picture that will open in a new tab.

Here’s the route we took.   We had started at Dawlish Warren train station, but i forgot to start the Garmin until we walked a while . . .

The sea was rather vigorous and the weather wasn’t the greatest when we started out, drizzly and chilly, but the weather forecast said it wasn’t going to last and it would be better later . . .

A beautiful view.   Yeah, grock season is finally over . . .

Who photographs the photographers?   It’s Val, who planned and scouted today’s walk . . .

Sainsburys have some nice wall art, full blown “Ogden-esque” . . .

Some great dustbins . . .

And a unicorn too (yes, they obviously do exist) . . .

Hedge tunnel . . .

This bramble was trying to have one last try before winter . . .

Tora enjoying walking with her muddy feet . . .

Langdon Hospital, which the NHS describes as Forensic mental health (inpatient) . . .

Some lovely countryside art that someone carved on a wooden post . . .

Where we stopped to eat our packed lunches . . .

While we were eating lunch this place decided to start smoking . . .

Signs, signs, signs, signs . . .

After all the signs telling us what we shouldn’t be doing, we finally arrive at Cofton Holiday Park where they have some lovely pretties . . .

A play area for toddlers . . .

And some fountain thing (no water now the grocks have gone), though i’m not sure what the christmas trees have to do with it . . .

And a nice cafe bar area to sit and have another break . . .

On the way out of Cofton there was this lovely old chapel, belonging to St. Mary . . .

Along with pipe organs and bell towers, my other favourite thing about these older churches/chapels are their doors . . .

Some history for those who enjoy that kind of thing . . .

This looks like fun for children . . .

The overhead view of Cofton Holiday Park . . .

As we wander along this lovely footpath . . .

And then we find a piano, a bright pink piano, in the middle of the woods, random! . . .

The trees are slowly beginning to get their Autumn plumage . . .

Across the estuary to Exmouth.   My house is about the exact centre of the photo . . .

Starcross is still a bit of a way off . . .

But first we must get through Cockwood, where i find the nicest cottage of the day.   One would think they would find somewhere for the unsightly bins though . . .

Then we came across this tree with these tiny pears on it.   Pyrus salicifolia . . .

Some interesting stuff to read about the local fauna and flora . . .

And then we finally get to Starcross where we all go our seperate ways after another great day out in the beautiful and interesting Devon countryside.

The train station shelter was all done up in giant murals, so i had to take my last few photos before putting my camera away for the journey home . . .

All in all, a great day out.   The weather did get much better and the coats soon got taken off.

And a big thanks to Val for planning this walk out for us all to enjoy.

See ya all soon.
