The Flying Scotsman steam engine is 100 years old this year and, as part of it’s celebrations, it is passing through Devon on Sunday. It is due to go along the spectacular Dawlish to Teignmouth bit of coast at about 11.45. (It is due to leave Exeter at 11.30)

I am planning to watch it from my sea kayak, paddling from Exmouth across to Dawlish and along the coast to Coryton’s Cove to watch it. I plan to arrive at Exmouth at 0930 to be on the water by 10.00am.

If people are interested in joining me, please sign up below. Unless another leader signs up, the maximum number is 6.

You should have paddled on the sea before.

    That would be cool. But unfortunately it clashes with cheering on Dartmoor. Otherwise I'd come, even in the rain!

    How far is it Nigel? As you know I would be a slow paddler….It looks quite a way….

    Would you be able to help with transporting the kayak? How needy am I? Please feel free to say no.

    Thanks for a good paddle, and the Flying Scotsman flew by - not the best pictures but we had a good view.

    You had better weather and view than I did at st David's station. It apeared from the fog and slinked into the station hiding behind another train
