you should ask the train people if they could do a vape day where the train blows out vape instead of steam  |

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. Thanks for letting me know have edited my post the ferry company doing the ferries are below  www.paigntonpleasurecruises.co.uk/ferry times are 11am 12am 1pm
last ferry back to Torquay is 4.30pm |

cuz of the larger numbers coming now I think a bigger beer garden would be better as weathers looking really good for sat, I'll wait till tonight to make sure no one minds the change of venue to the spinning wheel @ Paignton seafront and then give the manager a ring to see if he will reserve seats for me www.spinningwheelinn.co.uk/ |

not sure if it would be better to meet at the spinning wheel in Paignton as I know the manager there and there's far more seating in one row (long bench tables) have a look at the link below and let me know what ya all think? but you will all have to ok this this quick as possible www.spinningwheelinn.co.uk/I have vaped in there so know its ok but will let the manager know just in case also they will take bookings as done this there before |
