Day 28 Brixham
June 27, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Länge: 21 km
Gesamt-Strecke: 782/1.014 km
Dauer: 5,5 Stunden
Höhenmeter: ca. 700 m
Wetter: leicht bewölkt, leichter/mittlerer Wind, sonnig
Nachts regnet es mal wieder etwas, aber als ich aufstehe scheint mir die Sonne ins Gesicht. Nach ca. einer Stunde Laufen bin ich mitten in Dartmouth wo ich meine Vorräte etwas auffülle und die Fähre über den Fluss Dart nehme. Es ist schon nach 11 Uhr als die Etappe dann so richtig anfängt, nach einem Stück vorbei an Cottages durch einen Wald geht es übelst steil rauf und runter immer direkt am Meer entlang. Gefühlt komme ich sehr langsam voran, die Route hat es in sich und mein Rucksack ist unerbittlich schwer. Je länger ich mich voran kämpfe desto besser wird das Wetter und desto heißer wird es. Ich verschlinge das Essen, das ich mir für den Tag bereitgelegt habe, denn ich brauche jede Energie, die ich kriegen kann. Irgendwann schaffe ich es dann doch die Kilometer hinter mich zu bringen und komme bei dem Campingplatz in der Nähe von Brixham an. Danach läuft alles seinen gewohnten, mittlerweile routinierten Gang und ich freue mich, dass es wieder ein Tag voller Sonnenschein ist.Read more

Torbay; Torquay, Paignton and Brixham
June 14, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
The three towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham are situated around Torbay and comprise the English Riviera; this post describes additional places seen on diversions whilst walking between them - they are described by the picture captions.

Torquay was originally a fishing port but is now a major, large seaside town comprising several parishes and villages (including St Marychurch, Babbacombe, Wellswood, and Cockington visited earlier). Paignton is a pretty seaside town that merged with the neighbouring villages of Goodrington and Preston as it grew. Brixham is still an active fishing port and extremely pretty.Read more

Day 30
Brixham
September 18, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Brixham liegt eingebetten in grüner Landschaft und strahlt wie ein Strauß Blumen. Die Häuser reihen sich in bunten Farben eng an eng aneinander. Mit dem Schlauchboot fahren Jonas und ich durch die wogenden Wellen des Sturms in Richtung Hafen. Vorbei an Yachten und Booten an Mooringbojen.
Vorbei an der größten Fischereiflotte Südenglands. Vorbei am Yachthafen mit den im Wind klappernden Masten. Hinein im das innere Hafenbecken. Dort ragt ein altertümliches Piratenschiff empor. Es sitzt im Schlick. Der Wasserstand ist so niedrig, dass das halbe Hafenbecken trocken liegt. Für Gezeitengewässer durchaus normal. Wir schlängeln uns durch die Boote hindurch und machen an einer Leiter fest. Dann setzen wir das erste Mal seit zwei Jahren Fuß auf den Boden Brixham's. Das letzte Mal lagen wir hier mit der Thor Heyerdahl. Von hier starteten wir in den Atlantik! Es lässt auch heute noch bei uns die Vorfreunde auf den warmen Süden wachsen.Read more

As soon as I waved off my parents, I met a really wholesome local elderly couple waiting for the ferry who were going off to get drunk in Kingswear. The other side of the ferry even they then waved me off! The path from there took plenty of ups and downs I'd describe as 'fun' but maybe they just caught me in a good mood. I met a real lad called Kieran hiking the whole path in the other direction and we sat on a bench and spoke for a good while. Then I dashed around Berry Head and I've arrived late in Brixham, which so far seems alright, definitely less horrible than Plymouth.Read more

Traveler A very fair assessment of Brixham. Paignton spoons has little to offer other than damp, but the Green Ginger in TQ is pretty and has an outdoor balcony seating area (if you were to fancy a morning pint that is)

Traveler honestly can't wait to sample the local damp and the famed balcony

Brixham has a long history of settlement along the Devon coast due to its great harbor. It is still a major fishing port that supplies fish for London restaurants everyday.

Brixham
September 14, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We stayed at a site above Brixham Harbour and walked down into the town in the afternoon. A beautiful little spot and the town was busy. The harbour is full of leisure boats and the odd fishing vessel - somewhat different from its heyday.
No wet fish to be seen for sale but large refrigerated lorries were waiting in the harbour presumably to take the catch from the few remaining commercial fisherman direct to markets elsewhere. There are lots of fish and chip shops doing a good trade.

We walked back up to the site via the harbour, where some seals were frolicking about in the water. Then onto Berry Head and back to the site,prior to enjoying a bbq in the evening sunshine.Read more

After a day holed up with wet weather we decided to head onto Brixham. A stroll onto the beach to check the seascape before departing Exmouth marina at 2.30.
A lumpy wet crossing but arrived in time for early evening beers.Read more

A quiet day and very slow stroll around Brixham as Orla not coping too well this tour due to old age. Sadly going to let her jump ship and take her own holiday in Earley until we get back in July. A quick drive up the M5/M4 tomorrow to drop her off, and restock the bar whilst we have a hire car!🤣🍺🍷🍫🍦Read more
