Day 11: Rainy Torquay

Well, as was predicted, it was wet today although I did managed to get some walking in when it was only spitting.

Torquay is part of Torbay which is a large bay which also has the towns of Paignton and Brixham along it. First I went to the Northern point of the bay, called "Hope's Nose." From the satellite photo, it looks like a gentle walk:

My route recorded on GPS in green. Click to zoom in.

Of course, when you get there, it's like this:

and you find you are actually 90 metres above sea-level before you start. When I put my walk data into Google Earth later and rotated in 3D, this is what it looks like:

and the elevation data showing my descent, roam around and ascent:

Pikachu saw some small islands off-shore. The low one nearest to land is called "Lead stone" and the larger one in the background, "Ore Stone."

(you can see droplets of rain got on the lens)

Pikachu is horrified to see all the rubbish people have not put in the bin!!!!

Pikachu crosses the "Hope's Nose Canyon".

There were some amazing rock formations with little striations looking like someone had thrown paint. The second one looks like a waterfall or lightning

Then, in the afternoon, as it was raining harder, I just toured around Torbay in the car.
