Duncan from Modbury is our driver again.  There is some confusion about where we are to meet him in Bigbury.  (See what we have done here – avoided the ferry) but we eventually meet up and he drives us to the east side of the Erme – thus avoiding having to wade across – there is no ferry here.  This is a beautiful sector with some steep climbs.  It’s windy, but the wind is behind us.  We stop for tea at Charlborough caravan site just before Bigbury.  Back to The Ferry Inn for supper.  I have scallops

It’s a brilliant hotel.   Great room with proper bathroom and bath.                                                                               The Ness House  Then we walked down to the beach and caught the ferry to Teignmouth - £2.00 cash pp. We watched Michael Portillo doing this as part of his series walking the SWCP.   A guy we met last night was on the ferry.   He had walked from Torquay the previous day carrying a huge pack.   He had a Freedom pass, so not young.                                                       Sha...

  As we check out, sewage is appearing in our toilet.   We do feel we are leaving a sinking ship. We are encouraged by the thought that we are now liberated from the A303 and its bottlenecks.   Instead we take A35/A31 to the M27, expecting to do it in a much shorter time.   This proves not to be.   The traffic is very slow and it ends up taking just as long as driving from West Hill.   We are home for a late lunch.  We have lots going on in May and June, so our next SWCP session will be July or August.  Poole? Possibly.                                                         SWCP sign at Weymouth beckoning us on to Poole
