Long Summer Walk

On Monday I decided that a lovely long walk in the sun was called for, so I walked from Starcross, all the way to home. That is almost from the coast to the city, so quite a long walk! Luckily there are several excellent pubs on the way, so that broke it up a bit. Here are a few of the pictures I took on my phone.

Looking across the estate at Powderham, where I saw Deer, Heron and Egrets, shame my phone camera does not have a zoom!

The canal path in glorious sun!

Not the nicest part of the walk, but the motorway bridge does at least give some shade.

On the Quay at Exeter over 4 hours from the start, and almost home!

I live in Exeter, Starcross is great for bicycle rides from Exeter to Dawlish. The photos make it look a lot better with that Sun out! The weather is hardly ever that nice!
