SOUTH WEST COASTAL PATH EXMOUTH to SANDY BAY Friday 21st September 2019 ...............Walk No. 977 | |||||
South West Coastal Path No: 64 Total: 526.5 miles Time Taken: Cycle: Distance: Enjoyment: Weather: 2.25 hours n/a 4.5 miles 90% Cloudy, little breeze Temp: Cloud: Rain: Visibility: Ground Conditions: 16oC 90% 0% Good Excellent Underfoot General: (Breakfast at Morrison's, Evesham and cup of tea at Killerton National Trust property.) Laz and boyz dropped me off outside The Beach public house by Exmouth Harbour. Started walk from Starcross Ferry within the harbour and walked along the esplanade by the sea wall, passing the Maer and RLNI lifeboat station. Just after the station I walked up Foxholes Hill for a short distance, then took the cliff top tarmaced path to the right towards Rodney Point and Orcombe Point. Geoneedle at Orcombe Point to celebrate the western end of the Jurassic coast, unveiled by Prince Charles in 2002. Continued along the top of the bright red cliff and sands below. Good views along the coast and especially across the Exe Estuary to Starcross, the cliffs of Dawlish Warren and beyond, Soon reached the large caravan site at Sandy Bay by the firing range at Straight Point. Walked along the firing range fence by the caravans to the end of the caravan site, hoping the caravan I was staying at with Ken, Laz and Dennis was going to be at the east end of the caravan site. No such luck, phoned the boyz to find our caravan at No 3 Damson Green, the western side of the site. (Fish and chips from the entertainment centre before a walk along the beach of Sandy Bay. Lost at dominoes and cards as usual). Click Here to Go to Previous 'SWCP - Walk 957' Click Here to Go to Next 'SWCP - Walk 978' Click Here to Return to 'Lifetime of Walks' Homepage | |||||
