Day 5 Tues 25th Mar
A cold night but it soon brightened to a lovely day. A hat was definitely needed to avoid burning.

| Mew Stone where the seals were singing |
A day of contrasts, from cliffs to tourist beaches. The first section from Kingsweir to Brixham was a beautiful cliffy walk with only skylarks and primroses for company, I'm sure there were other birds and flowers but they were the ones I remember along with the ubiquitous gorse as well as the seals singing to me from The Mew Stone.

| Up and down the coast to Brixham |
The weather was good, the views were good and the path, although steep in places, was good as well. What more can you ask for?
Brixham was very busy and there were a lot of people in the shops and restaurants. I found a Specsavers where they put a new screw in my glasses without any problem, I'm not sure if they were impressed with my sellotape repair but it allowed me to see.

Once through Brixham the path takes to the hills again to Broadsands where there is a walk beside the beach to Paignton where it climbs over the headland.

The path then follows the beach to Torquay where I turned off the SWCP to detour up into the town where I had been offered a bed for the night. Many thanks Sheila.
