Day 24 - thank goodness the last long day

Firstly I should apologise for the lack of photos on the latter part of the section, but I made a 'schoolboy error' and allowed the iPad to run out of juice.

Whilst today was a long day in terms of miles (approx 25) a huge amount was walking from teignmouth to  north of exmouth (albeit with ferry in between) and this was all flat.
The first 3 or so hours between Babbacombe and teignmouth was testing, but fortunately much of it was in the woods so it was cool.
The middle section whilst relatively easy was uninspiring, going through many holiday parks and really unsightly caravan parks/developments. Also the sea wall was under repair at both Teignmouth and Dawlish, so detours (unmarked and significant) had to be made. Overall far too much road. Walking and walking through urbanised areas.
The final section between Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton and then Sidmouth proved more challenging and a tiring end to the day.

Looking forward to finishing now. My feet are starting to rebel!
