It was a very hot day today with full sunshine for much of the day. A rest day for me as I had done all this before. Margaret caught the bus back to Brixham and said that 8 out of 10 people on the bus were dressed as pirates!
I walked into Torquay and visited Torre Abbey gardens and cafe for coffee and cake. There is a 200 year old mulberry bush in the garden.
On the way back to Paignton I stopped for lunch on a seat overlooking the sea and a few moments later Margaret arrived at the same seat having walked from Brixham. After lunch she continued on her way to walk as far as she could before catching the bus back to Paignton. I walked back into Paignton that was absolutely heaving with people and motorbikes.
I have never seen so many bikes in one place before. The whole seafront area was full of parked bikes, marquees, beer tents, trade stands, food tents, ice cream etc.
It was far too busy for my liking so I walked to the harbour where boatloads of pirates where arriving from Brixham and then to Fairy Cove just beyond the harbour that was reasonably quiet.
Unfortunately it was too hot and too far for Margaret to go any further than Babbacombe and after much discussion of various options she will be returning in September to fill in the missing 7 miles.
