Portwrinkle to Plymouth

After a night of luxury in our Airbnb with an electric blanket we headed on towards Plymouth. The morning was pretty uneventful and much of the path was on the road.

We did however pass through an interesting firing range at Tregantle Fort. After getting back onto proper path we headed round Rame Head. On top of the point is an old chapel which looks very picturesque from a distance.

We continued into Cawsand/Kingsand and met Olly's dad and brother for lunch. They are down from London for a few days on a Cornish/Devonian road trip. After a catch up and a pub lunch we headed on towards Plymouth.

The weather was absolutely beautiful and we were enjoying watching all the sailing boats in Plymouth sound.

We chatted to a couple who were also walking the path and before we knew it we were on a walking tour of the Plymouth area. 

After catching the ferry across the Tamar we saw another welcome to Devon sign and headed to union Street (apparently a rough end of town but not the roughest) where our alarmingly cheap hostel/hotel was located. It doesn't seem too bad so far...

We have now passed the 400 mile mark and are officially back in Devon.

Still no caterpillars but a few nature fun facts instead. 

Below is a harlequin lady bird, these are not native to the UK but are now more common that the native European ladybird which has only 5 spots. 

Below is a Spanish oak tree, it has acorns like a British oak tree but the leaves are not the classic oak shape.
