As planned we all walked along the very green and peaceful Lincombe Drive with occasional glimpses of coastal views

4 of the more hardy walkers joined the SW coast path at Daddyhole Plain and the majority of us walked on down the road past the Imperial Hotel to Torquay Harbour for our refreshment stop at The Lighthouse cafe before catching our buses home

16 members of Teignmouth Walk this Way weekly walking group enjoyed a great new waterside Exeter walk earlier today lead by Ann L👍

We caught the train to Exeter Central then were caught up in minor chaos trying to get through the new exit ticket barriers - some machines that work plus decent signage ref using new paper tickets would be an improvement!

We walked on past the cathedral and then on down to the Quay...from there we enjoyed a lovely river and canalside footpath circuit

Some of us stopped for refreshments at the Quay before heading back up into the city centre by foot or bus -a few of us can now recommend the hourly bus which leaves at 30 mins past👍

We returned home via different trains

REMINDER next Weds May 6th meet up near the pier by 10.15am - we're catching the 10.30am number 11 Torquay bus from PO bus stop to Wellswood .Our walk takes us along the lovely Lincombe Drive then on down to Torquay Harbour .We usually have refreshments at the Lighthouse cafe before catching bus home from nearby Torwood St bus stop at 40 mins past the hour 👍

NB It's that time of year to remind our walkers to remember to bring their water bottles plus wear sun protection again please 😎😓

Weather dry and sunny plus very windy - before 10am waves were very choppy with seaspray being blown across the prom to the seats so I decided to head to the PO bus stop much earlier than usual !

Our walk went from plan A then B and C the back to our original A walk route after a detour 🙃

Although asked politely the bus driver on the Torquay 11 refused to let us off at Labrador Bay car park -over the years we've got off there without ever being refused over a dozen times ..

My plan B was thwarted as the bus stop before the car park seems to have disappeared ie we were instead going to walk along the off road path and down the fields via the SW Coastpath to Shaldon ..

Driver dropped 16 of us off 100 metres down the road after the car park -thankfully by a gate onto the RSPB Labrador Bay Reserve.We had an uphill walk with lovely views out to sea then passed through a couple more gates before arriving back at Labrador Bay car park 👍

Plan C briefly considered to walk down the fields to Shaldon after our detour but decided that route was too hilly plus windy as exposed to the sea ..

So back to plan A walking from car park along coast road up Picket Hill Lane and down Salty Lane etc

Sad/disgusted to see large fly tipped pile of DIY/builders rubbish just at lower end of Picket Hill Lane 😡

After steep uphill climb we reached Butterfly Lane stopping briefly to enjoy wonderful sea and countryside views before continuing on down Picket Hill Lane ..

We turned left down Salty Lane a very steep and long descent for those of us with painful arthritic hips and knees 😓

Eventually thankfully we arrived on the level by Ringmore Towers and headed towards Shaldon ,3 walkers left for home and 13 of us went to The London Inn for our end of walk refreshments👍

REMINDER next Weds our walk leader is Ann L - we're catching the train to Exeter for a new city centre walk - confirmation ref train time and walk route will be posted asap 👍

10 intrepid/foolhardy walkers braved the wet weather forecast and turned up for another of our Teignmouth WTW weekly walks this morning 👍

The level walk along the seafront was ok however as soon as we arrived at our mid walk refreshment stop The Salty Dog there were a few drops of rain plus it became a bit windy .Nevertheless we enjoyed our rest plus drinks and free yummy rock buns etc 👍

The return journey was challenging ie we got soaked through ...wind in our faces plus relentless rain 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰- those of us wearing specs suffering with continuous rain on our lens !

What a difference weatherwise from the overwhelming heat on our Topsham walk last Weds 😁

REMINDER next Weds-meet up around 10.15am near pier.We're catching the 10.30am number 11 Torquay bus from PO stop to Labrador Bay car park .We then walk back carefully along the coast road then up the lane to the beacon - afterwards we walk on downhill to Ringmore then after refreshments at the London Inn catch bus or ferry over to Teignmouth or walk back
