End of the line

Totnes Paignton (open top bus)


Looking at Totnes from the top of the open top bus gave us a new viewpoint. Progress was a bit slow with road works and traffic in Paignton, but our friends were still waiting at the bus station. We went for coffee at their flat in Goodrington.

Paignton Kingswear (steam train)


We could watch the train from their flat and picked it up from Goodrington Station, as it was closer.

Kingswear Dartmouth (ferry)


Some nice views from the end of the ferry pier.

Dartmouth Totnes (river boat)]


Dartmouth is an interesting place to look around. I found a chandlers and bought a collapsible bucket. The benches overlooking the River Dart and the railway on the other bank are a good place to linger. Interesting stories as we went up the river and very quiet in places.

Murvi Mini Meet]


Another Murvi arrived and happened to park next to us. They were on their way for a repair. We had a chat and compared vans. They also turned up at the session in the pub on the other side of the river. The session was instrumental and Irish/Scottish not many there but good to do something different
