Hooe Lake to Mountbatten

On Saturday 26 February we parked our car by the entrance to Radford Park and walked down to Radford Lake.  We turned right as this was the general direction we were going and walked along by the river along the Plym Erme Trail until we reached the other entrance of the Park.  We then walked along the road until we got back to Hooe Lake.  We should have turned right and crossed the causeway and through the arch in Radford Castle!  The way we took was a long way around but being on pavements our shoes stayed cleaned.  On the way back we kept on the South West Coast Path for longer, but  it was very muddy and slippery and so we turned back and made our way through a housing estate back to the main road.

From Hooe Lake we went around the estuary to Turnchapel - a very colourful village.  

We then walked around an MOD area with lots of military vehicles and boats and on to Mountbatten with lovely views over to the Barbican and Plymouth Hoe.  It was so windy it was hard to keep the camera still.  

There is always something to see from Mount Batten and today there was a group of canoeists in the water.
