Our route out was to follow the river upstream
Past the Rumple Wheel Pit by the weir
After that we came to the fallen tree which was just a bit tricky to get past - over the first bit and then under the next bit!!
On to the arches and the broken foot bridge across the river.....
..and waiting for us underneath the arches was Charlie 8 weeks and 1 day after becoming bionic, ready to start walking on Tuesdays again a magnificent achievement.
Eventually up a steep slope and out onto the railway track.
Past the station halt built for Bickleigh barracks...
...on to the tunnel
....and daylight at the other end
Eventually we arrived at The Skylark in Clearbrook for lunch.
Only three of us for the return trip which was on the railway line all the way back and an opportunity to top up the five a day habit!
At last a little sunshine
Then a stop at the peregrine watch centre on the Cann Viaduct - the peregrines had fledged on the 9th July - so we had only just missed them but you could still see the nest clearly.
The list of birds and deer seen since the 1st May
The very clever sign with a warning to all
Finally back to Plym bridge and the new railway stop for Plym Valley Railway running on selected dates through the summer
Walking today Terry, Rosemary, Bud and Charle
Great to see Bud using his super hero powers to lift that tree!
