St Marychurch to Goodrington, 8th October 2014.
10.5 Miles. Return by No. 12 Bus to Torquay then Bus 32.
W/W 28th November 2018. Goodrington; Paignton; Torquay; Meadfoot; Thatcher; Babbacombe; St Marychurch.
The day started at Finches 10.00 hrs, then bus ride (No 22) to Torquay; bus (No 12) to Goodrington and Morning Coffee at approx 11.10 hrs. sheltering from the weather on the Brixham end of Goodrington Sands. The conditions were true to forecast with heavy showers and strong SW winds gusting between 60 to 70 mph. The wind therefore was behind us, en-route around the bay, giving a degree of comfort, from horizontal rain and wind, however severe.
Total Distance 10 .2 miles
Interestingly, the total ascent was 1783 ft over the whole route, giving a feeling of achievement in the poor conditions…………Mike
