The following week the destination was Lannacombe Beach, but the weather put paid to that! Although the morning was fairly dry, a strong wind meant that we could only get past East Allington for lunch. After that we wandered down to Slapton and along to Strete and Stoke Flemming. There we left the main road and cut through the lanes to Hemborough Post, from where we joined the main road to Halwell.

On the hill dropping down into Halwell a sequence of strange events began to occur when a flock of sheep coming up the hill sandwiched Basil and Frank between a car and then Frank’s cape blew up over his head. Fortunately, Basil was quick to the rescue and we had a safe journey home through Harbertonford and Totnes.
