Day 13: Kenton to Barton

On today's walk as we head into Dawlish and into Teignmouth, we are walking along the sea wall right next to Brunel's Great Western Railway. These stretches of the line famously get damaged in exceptionally stormy weather. At Teignmouth we catch a ferry across the River Teign to Shaldon. This is a shuttle service. The ferry is too small to take all the pilgrims at once but it is only a 10 to 15 minute wait for the next one. After Shaldon, we follow a very hilly section of the South West Coast Path, the final coastal section of our pilgrimage.

My fellow frontmarker Maureen climbs one of many hills. This is our final section of the South West Coast Path, from Shaldon, and one of the hilliest sections that we did! John Chenery Original Tweet
