It had rained a bit overnight and the early morning was cloudy. Yet again our morning started with a ferry, this time across the River Dart to Kingswear. We said farewell to Dartmouth. We had been staying in the quirky red painted building squashed between the Harbour Offices and a row of terraced houses.

After a climb up the Alma Steps the path levelled out for a short time before plunging down into Warren Woods passing some secluded coves along the way before emerging after a few climbs at the coastguard station at Inner Forward Point.
Another steep down took us to the Brownstone Battery, a WW11 coastal defence position.
The path was quite undulating today through woods and along cliff tops to Scabbacombe Sands. After a steep climb up from there we spied a seat at the top with two people sitting on it. Fortunately it was a big seat and they kindly offered to share it with us so we had our lunch in company. Mind you as he was from Lancashire he may have regretted sharing it when he found out we were from Yorkshire!
My day was a bit shorter then Margaret's as I left her at St Mary's Bay and took a short cut into Brixham. I had walked from there to Brixham around Berry Head when on holiday with CHA in Torquay in 2009.

Brixham was full of pirates preparing for a battle with a visiting Spanish Galleon the following day.
We were staying in Paignton for a couple of days at Lazy Days B&B which turned out to be one of the best we stayed in. We finished our day with a meal in Wetherspoons which wasn't quite as busy as Plymouth thankfully.
