Starting to head back, you can get a good view of the other side of the #Estuary, where the #town of #Exmouth can be seen. There happens to be a nice ferry trip on which you can take your #bike between #Starcross and #Exmouth
#Starcross
The #village of #Starcross is small but it happens to have a #RailwayStation on the line from #LondonPaddington and #Penzance, though the #IntercityTrains don’t usually stop there. This is the last part of the journey for me before I turn and head back homewards at the station itself.
Beware, this is going to be a long thread...
My standard longer #bike ride is a 30 km round trip to #Starcross, which is #village on the west coast of the #ExeEstuary on the way to #Dawlish. The ride is motor-traffic-free for a goo 80% of the distance. It's also through a lot of #countryside and it's my intention to photograph some of the #trees through all the seasons. However, this set contains a little more for your edification.
Did you know? Jason Dyer started writing about Starcross.

@rjbs I'm curious about how you might fare in #Starcross. It was my favorite #Infocom #TextAdventure game and supposedly one of their most challenging.
My request for all Infocom text adventure titles to be made available on the Microsoft Store for free for everyone is one step closer to reality! #infocom #textadventures #zork #suspended #starcross #leathergoddesses #deadline #activision #microsoft

The appeals court decision removes one of the last hurdles to completing the $69 billion deal.
Today’s #cycle trip was to #Exmouth which is about 18 km away by #bike mostly on #cyclepaths. It has been a bright sunny day but still a bit cool. This is a #photograph of the #ExeEstuary which opens out into the #EnglishChannel. It was #LowTide and so you can see #SandBanks in the middle of the #estuary which form a #habitat for #birds but also a #NavigationalHazard. You can see the opposite #bank too which is in #Starcross.

Last Sunday, which was nice and sunny, I went on a longer jaunt by #bicycle down the #western side of the #ExeEstuary to #Starcross. It is of course very flat along the coastal #CyclePath and almost the entire journey is #OffRoad and features a rather nice, new #pedestrian/cycle bridge over the main railway line which continue to #Plymouth and then #Cornwall. My wife likes this route too. The total length is just over 30 km.
Lovely day to complete a #cycle #tour of both sides of the #ExeEstuary including a #ferry trip across the water from #Exmouth to #Starcross. The journey amounted to about 37km on the saddle and ended in bright sunshine.
