Day 3 Monday


The coach was fixed now so we were back on schedule, Sunday's schedule that is! We travelled south towards Plymouth and I joined Mick Melvin's 'A' walk from Battisborough Cross to Newton Ferrers. He had passed a sheet round the bus that showed a compressed view of the contours and it looked something like the alps! 'Yes it would be as hard as yesterday's walk' he said. Was he trying to put me off........I'm not sure but I decided to risk it as there were a couple of opportunities to shorten it if it got too much.

Once again we had lovely weather with a bit of a breeze this time. A couple of steep climbs before lunch but certainly nothing like yesterday's walk and then a beautiful, almost level, wide path on the side of the cliff all the way into Newton Ferrers....what a delight!
We arrived just in time to catch the ferry across to Newton Ferrers and had plenty of time for cream teas or drinks at the pub before setting off home at 5.15 pm.
