Tenacious is only 21 years old. Luckily that makes it older enough to be out in weather like this. It looks like it is heading straight in, but instead, anchored up outside for the night.

And looking the other way there was this small gap at the top of South Town just before it meets Above Town and Swannaton Road. This is the leading pack of five, plus one of the motorbike TV camera crews. The TV commentary was not just complimentary about Dartmouth. It was positively gushing. Expect lots of cyclist visitors next year.

The 2021 Tour of Britain Cycle race passed through Dartmouth once again. Quite a challenge to shoot under TVFTDO rules (every pic is shot from our property). But luckily we have scaffolding all over our house and from the very top I could see the main pelaton arrive along the Embankment.

There's a new house being built high up in Kingswear. Well, another replacement house.

Some of the stonework has been completed on the river facing elevation. Not so much Devon stone, more Flintstone. Perhaps the builder was Barney Rubble?
