Weather overcast and humid for our 9 Teignmouth Walk This Way walkers this morning

As planned we caught the bus to Cofton Motors then set off down the nearby lane -a walk we've not done for about 3 years

We soon headed off uphill along a green lane,eventually reached the top ,crossed the farm access lane and started along the next part of the green lane - at this part of the walk there were several swallows swooping low for insects close by

This green lane went on uphill and then back down, on reaching a stone farm track we followed the pedestrian signs walked on passing a property then came to a tarmac lane - another 10 /15 mins and we arrived at the Mamhead Rd junction

Option of walking the busy Mamhead Rd without pavement to Cockwood was sensibly declined !

By this time there was some light drizzle not enough for brollies in fact some of us weren't even wearing jackets

So we walked on up and down the lanes and road to Kenton - 2 walkers walked on to Powderham for refreshments.7 of us went to bus stop we were only there less than 5 mins when luckily for us a late bus arrived so we were back in Teignmouth for 1pm !

NB Walk was long and hilly but not over strenuous took us around 90 mins and was approx 3.5 miles

REMINDER next Weds Sept 9th circular walk to Salty Dog Cafe .Meet up near pier around 10am ,we start walk 10.15am - we're walking a level local walk along the seawall by the railway line to our mid walk refreshment stop at the cafe at the bottom of Smugglers Lane Holcombe

Dry,sunny humid weather for our 10 Teignmouth Walk this Way walkers this morning

Planned and researched walk led by Ann L took us on bus to Dawlish then on up the hilly Eastcliff Rd ,along footpath and on up field to Seven Sisters with it's great scenic views where we enjoyed a lovely longer than usual rest on the benches 👍

Ann led us down the next field we then took a different footpath route than usual - always interesting to go somewhere different👍

At the end of the path we joined the lane we usually walk down then turned left onto a new extremely steep road - painful for our knees and hips however we all survived the experience 😁

Back near the town centre we walked on via the Manor House gardens,on along by the stream and past the bowling green - we then split up and went to 2 different cafes for our refreshments

NB Please do remember our volunteer walk leaders plan and research our weekly walks - IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE for walkers to try change the walk routes - walkers are informed of planned route in advance so you have the choice whether to come along or not each week .

REMINDER next Weds Sept 2nd is a longer walk out into the countryside so please make sure you come prepared with water and snacks.

We'll meet up by the pier by 10am then from Teignmouth PO we're catching the 10.21am Exeter bus to Cofton Motors - the walk eventually leads us to Kenton from there either bus home or walk uphill to Powderham for refreshments

NB new Stagecoach bus timetables begin Aug 30th
From Teignmouth Post Office bus stop Exeter buses leave at 10.21am ,Newton Abbot buses leave at 10.01am and Torquay buses leave at 10.26am
