The walk from Eype up to Thorncombe Beacon follows a well-trodden path, winding along the cliffs with Dorset stretching out on every side. The views across Lyme Bay from the top are something else, sea and sky as far as you can see. Hard to beat on a clear day. #whereittakesus #Dorset #LymeBay

Almost looks like they're seeking shelter in #LymeBay....

Speed has been slower since #GeneralSkobelev had a near-stop

A trip out on Kelly's Hero from #Brixham #Devon this morning brought very close views of Manx Shearwater & Gannet and, for most of the 4 hours, Short-beaked Common Dolphin were visible. Everyone was smiling!

Another fabulous trip out from #Brixham this morning - 4 hours in the sun and good company on Kelly's Hero.

The Seal surfaced with a huge flat fish and the Gulls arrived to hassle for scraps!
