The morning was forecast to be very wet so rather than meet Pete and Carolyn for a walk and then lunch out somewhere, we hosted brunch at home.
Sadly the men have had to shelve their plans for their Coast to Coast walk in the summer. After a few consecutive days of training, Pete has recognised that his leg is just not up for the 198 miles of strenuous walking in a 14 day time frame.He felt it better to pull out now rather than injure himself further.
This morning the idea was to cancel all the pre booked accommodation and hopefully they will get all their deposits back.
The weather forecast was very accurate and indeed the rain did stop mid afternoon which gave us the chance of a decent walk with Jorgie.
We went to Dawlish and walked east along the sea wall and then back again. Only 4.5 miles but it was good to get some fresh air.

This stretch of railway hit the headlines back in 2014 when the sea defences  failed and the line was washed away during a terrific storm.

Day total: 4.5 miles
Year total: 87miles
