Dawlish Discussion

Can anyone suggest a gentle (i.e. no hills) three mile jogging route around Dawlish as an alternative to the sea wall, or would I have to drive out somewhere?  Preferably not ten times round The Lawn!  Thanks.

Drive up to the Obelisk car park Mamhead its great running nice and flat great views over the Exe Estuary and a circular route.

Thanks Leatash.  Went up there with the dog a while back, you're right, great views with the bonus of a softer running surface than the seawall. 

Dawlish Warren, especially at low tide, would give you good sand running and hurdling the groynes!

Hurdling, that's an action I probably won't perform ever again! 

Same here.  You might call it groyne strain.

There's a joke here somewhere. Something to do with muscles and mussels.  

It may be a bit longer than 3 miles, but, park your car at Starcross, bus to Swans Nes, along to the canal and down the towpath to the Turf Locks then along the path to Powderham and then the last half mile on the back road to Starcross.

Back into car, apply Oxygen Mask and drive to pub nearest home and have a few pints.

Think I'll just go direct to pub.
