Cold weather in South Devon




Owen (The Owster) Smith took this rather nice photograph last week as the light started to fade over Paignton Harbour and I thought that I would share it with you. The Harbour is on the South West Footpath and is one Devon's beautiful harbours.

This last week or so has been cold and after a soggy November that is quite a change. The changing season is reflected in the sale of winter wetsuits for the pre-dawn start at Bantham and other local beaches.
What has been interesting is the number of people in the water which is due in part to the kit now available and doubtless to the dedication of those intrepid South Devon surfers! Is there a better way to start 2010 than in or on the water? I don't think so.

Happy New Year!!
