"Hurry up Mike, I want a paddle to cool my hot, hot feet!"  Almost back at Wembury now to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine in Devon.
 

Arrrr, that's better, just what's needed after a long hot walk.  Wembury beach is a good unspoiled beach, with clean loos and a quaint café being the only facilities.

Arrgghhh!  Mike went for a paddle on Wembury beach and tried to fly!  Seriously, the water was surprisingly warm and very refreshing, Mike's just a big woss.

Belinda leaves her mark in the sand and lets everyone know whose beach it is.  It was a lovely beach at Wembury, pity we had to leave.
 

Day 3 and this was the only day the Devon weather was a bit duff.  We went to Salcombe and here's Mike loaded with chocolate after our visit to the Salcombe Chocolate Factory!
 

Mike at the back entrance to our Devon holiday cottage in Modbury.  The small town had two pubs, a convenience store, postcard shops and a few gift shops.

Belinda was supposed to be cooking the dinner, but got engrossed in her magazine.  The cottage was just right for the two of us, small but comfortable and well located for touring.  See our video clips page.
 

Cheers!  Spag Bol washed down with a good wine to round off a hard days touring.  Note the tiny TV, the picture was c**p too, especially after Mike fiddled with it!  (I was only trying to get a better picture).

This is the cat that wanted lots of attention whenever we left or arrived at the cottage.  It would follow us up the path, rollover and want its tummy tickled.
 

Another day, another walk, more Devon sun!  We went to Hope Cove, where Mike spent a lot of time on family holidays as a child.  This time he spent a lot of time reminiscing there!  After a coffee and taking lots of photos and video, we got going along the South West Coast Path towards Milton Sands and Thurlestone.

On the vast sandy beach at Milton Sands in Devon for our picnic lunch in the even-hotter-than-yesterday sun.  Why can't the weather always be this good?  On previous holidays it rained mostly!

This turned out to be quite a long walk at 8 miles for such a hot day.  Belinda's having a breather here, looking out towards Thurlestone, where the golf course seemed to go on and on forever.
 

On the way back to Hope Cove we stopped by the refreshment hut and the nice man took our picture, here at Milton Sands.  Related Devon websites are on our UK tourist links page.

The final leg back down into Hope Cove and a well earned swim in the sea.  Hope Cove was much as Mike remembered it in the 70s.  Continued on Devon holiday page 3.
