[Spud Murphy]

Hello all,
Has anyone heard anymore about the planned cycle route from Newton Abbot to Teignmouth in S Devon. There was quite a bit of publicity 18 months ago but i haven't heard anynhing since.

One of the few threads that requires absolutely no response at all, to get an answer. Genius.

P.s No, I've heard nothing either.

I think it's still in the pipeline. Pavement widening and new path being constructed on entry to Dawlish town centre happening at the mo.

There is a public forum at dawlish at the moment ( I think) strangely enough I received an email from the cycle forum through work the other day, I will post link tomorrow if I remember

From what I gather, land ownership rules it out.
Normally these thing go ahead if the landowner is cooperative.
Here there are multi owners making things impossible.

In Co Durham, the important Belmont Viaduct cycle link plan was said to be scuppered by a land owner. And the plan even won a ITV’s People’s Millions show major grant.

Thought there were 4 options being put forward for Dawlish?

Not sure it tells you much, but might give you a some idea

The rural lane up through Buckland and back to the estuary on the south side via Combeinteignhead going on to cross the bridge is lovely to cycle, if you have the legs.

And you don't meet too many nutters in cars

Course not: this is Devon (as) you know (looking across past Teignmouth towards you as I type!).

As in across the sea - I'm hoping to ride home doing this night ride with the help of the next full moon.
