Dawlish to Exeter St Thomas 14 Mile 18th Jan 2012
W/W 20 February 2019. Dawlish (Holcombe) to Exeter City Centre. The Mimosa WalkFour Team Members ventured on this long walk, via the Powderham Estate, to Exeter. The breeze in the Exe valley was a little chilly during the day.
As we enter the 'walk route’ from Starcross into the estate we notice the golden glory of a Mimosa Tree in full flower. This was a new find, as the original tree suffered from frost damage some years ago and didn’t survive.
We were therefore very pleased to be able to reinstate the original, Mimosa Walk.
The route along the canal side was interesting as many University boats including single sculls; coxed 4’s and 8’s, were out training and practising new skills
Our route terminated near the RD &E hospital in the city centre, where where we caught the No2 bus for the return journey to Dawlish.
Total Distance walked 13.3 miles. Elevation 516 ft….Mike
