Arry 25,233 Posted yesterday at 14:24 Report Share Posted yesterday at 14:24 (edited) Another Cliff walk on the opposite side of the the Salcombe Estuary out to Starehole bay then to the top of Sharptor. Looking back across at the other side where we walk last Thursday. Beautiful flat calm day. This is the lower path about 200 foot above the water. Then a climb up through the valley to get to the top of Sharptor. I will do a second post. Cheers Arry Edited 16 hours ago by Arry 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another walk on the coast today. Thought I would put them up with little map so if any lads down here on holiday might like them. Park at Ringmore NT car park. The tidal road at Averton Gifford on the way, Wifey did not like it one bit Lol. View of Burgh Island with the sand causeway and sea tractor at high water. The Burgh Island hotel where Agatha Christie supposed to have written some of her books. Challaborough beach Parasol mushroom good eating but don't keep long. Ayrmer Cove suposed to have been used for smuggling. Up the smuggler track. Wonder how many barrels of Brandy went up here it leads straight to the 13 century public house. Pitstop at the Ring feeder covered barn. Did come with a pot of beans. Cheers Arry 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely nutty taste mate. Make sure they are about 6 to9 inches across and have a stalk that has a snake skin look. Parasol WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM A great tasting, easy to identify mushroom that is large enough to spot from afar. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a lovely spot there, but if I'm honest, we wouldn't stay again, it was full of the type of people I can't handle, wax jacket, hunter wellies, black lab, spotless defender or discovery.. bit of tweed and from London (or nearby) pretending to be country types.. that's the only problem with that area now (as you know).. but the scenery and beaches are stunning.. Yeah you kindly advused me about that mark and me and Fin had a couple of turbot off it on an early morning fish.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
