Strollers Social Walking Group – January 2021

January’s walk

Our first 2022 Strollers walk will be on Thursday January 13th when we’re exploring Dawlish Countryside Park .

From Teignmouth we’re catching the number 2 Exeter bus leaving from WH Smiths bus stop at 12.11pm.  The same bus leaves Dawlish Brookdale Terrace at 12.25pm.

The plan is to get off the bus at the bus shelter by Langdon Hospital entrance.

We will then walk up the grassed footpath to the right of the hospital, this leads us up to Port Rd.  Back down Port Rd we cross over and walk uphill along the lane to the right of St Mary’s cottages.

At the top of the lane we enter the Countryside Park.  Cleverly, we’ll already be at the top of the park where there are stunning county views plus seating.

We can then explore the various paths around the park.  Hopefully the refreshment trailer will be open for drinks and maybe cake.

Finally, there’s a short walk via the car park to the nearest bus stop by St Mary’s Cottages and the possibility of either 2 and 2B buses for our journey home.

December’s walk 

There were just five of us on last Thursday afternoon’s December Strollers walk.  We enjoyed exploring Tessier Gardens at St Marychurch where we were almost mugged by some over friendly and well fed squirrels.  We then walked along Babbacombe Downs but decided not to go on to Walls Hill due to deteriorating wet weather.  Instead we adjourned to the nearby Angel cafe for refreshments, where only one Stroller was tempted to order a cream tea.
