A slow day was needed today, the past few days have been very heavy on the walking and with Aprils knee still on the mend we thought it was time for a bit of a rest.
A number off options were open to us today, drive the majority of the way back and stay overnight somewhere in the new forest or try and find some shops for a peruse..
Tomorrow made up our mind, Toby will love it so we decided to head for Exeter. After a new pair of walking shoes for April (with grip) and some rugby clothes for Toby and a massively long roam around looking for something for me (which turned out to be pointless) we headed out of Exeter, refuelled and headed for Exmouth to find a wild camping place on the beach with some stunning views. Toby thought this was the greatest and was in his trunks before you could say “Beach”, grabbed his body board and was off.. The waves were a little big for him to use his body board so he stood there like King Canute instructing the waves to break.
The weather looked very angry, and later on did rain, Toby finished building some lego and we all played cards with a storm lantern lit.
After Toby had gone to sleep, April and I sat and watched the night roll in over Dawlish in the distance. Then to sleep with the waves crashing not 20 yards away.
