Week 15 - Tuesday - Brixham

We are doing our Usain Bolt impression today, sprinting for Plymouth before the gales arrive tonight.

We are not quite the fastest humans on the planet, but we are doing our best at 5 knots.........although thinking about it, that it probably slower even than a marathon runner!

I was hoping to get into Dartmouth and Salcombe this week but the forecast for the next 3 days is terrible - so Plymouth it is.

Barry is looking after me
brilliantly. Yesterday he cooked the biggest breakfast that I have ever had!

We walked it off round town, then we moved from Torquay to Brixham for a change of scenery.

We arrived in the marina and chatted to an old boy there.

'How far have you come today?' he asked, hoping for an interesting tale of our journey.

He looked very disappointed when I said ' 3 miles!'

Brixham has the edge over Torquay - more atmosphere and older buildings.

Just approaching Start Point.
