    Hi Bill, I was more than a bit impressed that you managed that the morning after curry night. 😂😂😂 What a great video and the wonderful drone footage. When I used to come on holiday with mum we used to go to meadfoot beach and park up and have a picnic. One year she said let's go to Watcombe Beach. Well we got as far as the car park and she said let's go to Meadfoot after she remembered how steep it is to get down. See you tomorrow mate. 👍👍👍

    Hey Bill deepest respect to you for taking that route. I know i would have struggled both directions 😅, even though a beautiful beach at the end. A few years ago we went to Maidencombe beach, bit closer to Teignmouth which is equally lovely, less steep and the cafe still operational by the beach. Maybe a future adventure of Bill's?

    Hi Bill, when we stayed at Teignmouth last December we took a day trip to Clovelly in the Torridge district in Devon. The cobblestone path was very steep indeed, but it was a very worthwhile journey. Your video brought that very much to mind.

    Well done on walking that up and down ,very reminiscent of what I used to ride on a mountain bike in the 90s ,early 00s . That certainly is a very beautiful beach and you certainly get the perspective of it from the drone. I think I’ll have to pay it a visit very soon.

    The beach at 8:12 on the other side of the head land is called Whitsand Beach. Back in the 70s you could get around to it on the rocks except at high tide and you could climb down the cliff at the rear which is a 45 degree slope. I doubt I could take either route now.
    The path at 6:25 is the coast path to Maidencombe a bit to the east of the cliff face seen 8:09 in the woods. There is a view point at its end where you can take, left , an easy walk to Maidencombe; or right, the coast path, which is a bit up and down.

      @@BillsPhoneTeignmouth Maidencombe is very similar. There is also a pub with a beer garden which is very close to the car park and the coast path. The beer was good three years ago, never eaten there and I assume they have the normal selection of soft drinks.
      There is also a Steep Hill up to the main road from the pub, where there is a bus stop. It has a defibrillator half way up, hopefully it has never had to be used. There is a less steep hill that heads south but is quite long that meets the main road at bus stop opposite next Brunel Manor. The bus runs hourly I think.
