On Sunday the 29th August the iconic Cowes - Torquay race will be taking place.
Those of us involved will be in town (Torquay) all weekend so it seems sensible to have a run to collect some of Dorset's finest ice cream.
We will leave the Town Quay at 11.30 on Saturday the 28th, heading East towards Lyme Regis.
It's a good distance at around 25nm so we'll take a couple of stops on route for flask action.
Once in Lyme an ice cream or fish and chips is to be had (both are superb) before we head back for a large gin on the quay at Brixham.
For those around on the Friday afternoon a pasty at Salcombe sounds good too along with fish and chips at Dartmouth post race on the 29th
