		Day 1, Day 3, Day 4
		The half a dozen locals didn't expect the bus to be jam packed with walkers on the journey to Branscombe .
		We walked down to the sea and read about the World Heritage Site
		And then climbed up .
		And up .
		What a view - and what a climb .
		The weather was misty, but the gorse was shining bright .
		Careful now .
		The path was sheltered from the sea breeze by the gorse at times .
		We head down to the sea .
		Trying to decide if the steps helped or hindered us .
		Tried to have a sit down, but we were off up again .
		Up and up to .
		The Donkey Sanctuary .
		Where some us took photos .
		Of the donkeys .
		Including Murray .
		No, not Murray Walker! Whilst others .
		Recharged their batteries .
		Next we descended to the tiny village of Salcombe Regis .
		With its huge cherry tree .
		Up again through the woods .
		And down to Sidmouth .
		Where the sun came out .
		Still, it was a good temperature for all that exertion, we reasoned, typical British attitude. . And here is the profile - no the hills weren't really that steep, although it felt like it at times! .
