Now in Exeter staying at Bex and Tony's flat whilst they are in Equador doing some surfing and hiking. Managing to get a bit fitter with some great walks in the area and exploring city life in Exeter. We have sold the Kombie, so that was sad but I think it has gone to a good home; the buyer looked the part with a pony tail anyway and seemed very keen.

The picture is on Dartmoor, one of the higher "peaks" (547 m !!) but great views all around. These are the standing stones on route, with an ancient grave at one end. Further on there was a stone circle to the west end of Cosdon Beacon.

Didn't really finish off the SA trip report, but so much to write. We ended in Cape Town in a BP in Long Street and did the usual thing, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Robin Island.

This is the Devon coast near Hern Point rocks and Landram Bay on a mild February day. This was the last section of the south west coast path up to Exeter, so now completed from Bournemouth to Exeter and heading next down the River Exe estuary as the ferry across does not run in the winter.

There is a nice circular route from Budleigh Salterton, along the coast to Sidmouth and then back but going inland before the "High Peak" to Otterton and then southerly down the Otter on the west bank to Budleigh, about 17 km in all. A nice pub in Otterton and also a Mill to look around.

We haven't decided on our next trip yet and lots of research to do before then but will update as our plans take form and meanwhile, lots of things to do here !!
