I might take my camera up into the woods later Bill, no real sign of rain here but like you I'll be prepared
 
We made it back!! :eek::D

Drove over to Budleigh Salterton and parked up at the end.
There is a nice walk that runs along the banks of the river Otter.....flat and even going.

The marshes are quite sizeable and have a huge array of wild birds in amoungst it.
