Mostly Devon June 5

Just outside the hotel we discovered on of the original "gates" into a pasture. The field was about four feet above the road so one had to climb a couple of stone stairs before climbing over the slab of vertical rock forming the perimeter wall. We concluded that the gate had been well used because the steps were worn down. Modern styles are simple but fun. I just wonder how the dogs get through from one field to the next. e discovered some beaches covered in pebbles, others covered in sand, and others with a mix of both. Walking over pebbles, and pebbles racing after a retreating wave create wonderful sounds. And best all you don't get sand in your shoes. Sandy beaches are good for building castles and running on. Quite a few kids playing on the beach. Cornwal and Devon have tested my driving skills. Lanes are often only wide enough for one car so you stop often to let other by, or backup to a wide spot if you land up nose to nose. Notice the tire marks on the road to get a sence of how narrow it is. Dinner in Ivybridge with Steph finishes a perfect day.
