Holiday Day 9: Teign walks

OK, today's walk was split up into three little bits, but all were near the river Teign, hence the name.  First up was a pre-lunch stroll covering some of the ground I did yesterday round Back Beach in Teignmouth and along the prom and back.  Tide going out and what looks like a very tricky entrance to the river marked by buoys quite a long way offshore.  It's always interesting to see where the sand has been deposited over the winter, looks like the sandbar has moved quite a bit this year.
Secondly, after lunch at Jacks Patch, we walked down to Flow Point.  A short, simple walk but one that I had never done before.  It was another view of the estuary and the houses over on the back road to Shaldon.  We also caught a glimpse of a train as it hurtled past.
Third part was the footpath past Forde House down to the river and then back along the route of the Templar Way to the Town Quay.  A well trodden route over the years.  It was dull and cloudy so the moors couldn't be seen but we did see a heron fly past, so that made up for it.
