Absolutely tipping it down with rain today, so we're off for a steam train ride on the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway. Plan is to get a return ticket to Kingswear Station, get on the passenger ferry over to Dartmouth, have a wander around, grab lunch in a pub and then get back over to Kingswear and get the train back.
The railway do a train & ferry deal - not surprising as they're operated by the same company, so hopefully teh timetables for boats and trains co-incide.
Got to Paignton an hour or so before the train left so had a wander around and coffee and buns on the seafront.
I guess the weather on the day didn't exactly do it justice, but English Riviera? - what were they thinking? - more like Worksop on Sea and every bit as tacky as Skeggy.

Hercules is pulling the train today - what about the 'great' picture I took as well?
Rain still coming down when we get to Dartmouth so it's straight to the pub - I'd been to the Seven Stars before about 18 years ago and managed to find it no bother.
The outside of the Seven Stars, and me & Terry inside the Seven Stars getting around the outside of a pint or two.
Amazing what's on offer in dartmouth these days (I wish).
