Golden Hind replica, Brixham Harbour

This weekend we completed the last of the ‘scheduled’ paddling that needs to be done for the book, although no doubt there will be more … for the fun of it. We paddled between Dawlish Warren and Dartmouth in South Devon, a coast of remarkable contrasts (from the sublime to the amusingly tacky).

After a week of glorious weather and breathtaking scenery in West Cornwall, we were in truth feeling a little jaded and not wildly enthusiastic about making the trek to paddle in the vicinity of Torquay, in overcast gloom. We needn’t have worried. Devon – as always – provided the goods. We came home happy and fulfilled.

Today we linked the harbours at Brixham and Dartmouth …
