Trust me, the pirates are far more attractive!!

And knowing my luck, any boat we tried to plunder would more likely be full of horse s***t than treasure!

you know who I, am I'll be the only big hard biker there with a tiny chiwawa puppy with me  

[Blownupdolly]

sealover1 Are there steps or sharp incline slopes at either end of the journey? I think I am going to have to ditch the wheelchair and use my crutches. I desperately want to go on the boat.

BTW on that website it says the Paignton ferry is cancelled. I am sure there are others though.

[sealover1]

yeh there are steps both sides but they will help you on and off there pretty good at that sort of stuff

[sealover1]

best add its about 150yards walk from Paignton harbour to spinning wheel

Hmmmm... Right. Ok, I will just have to negotiate it the best I can. Not good with steps.
I just edited my previous post to tell you the company you linked to are not doing the Paignton ferry anymore, but sure there will be others.

Thanks for your help
