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."
Climbing the rocks in a little bay. (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.
You were lucky that Pikachu didn't fall down Hope's Nose Canyon - he looks near the edge!
