Next, we leave on the 2030 Stagecoach South West service 35C, alighting at St Marychurch Town Hall at 2042 on Friday. It's a pity we are here late at night as the Babbacombe funicular is well within walking distance...
We then walk the 3 minutes (0.1 miles) get the 21:20 Stagecoach South West service 12 to Newton Abbot (Council Offices), arriving at 21:43 Friday evening.
We take the 5 minute 0.2 mile walk to the bus stop on Sherbourne Road and wait for the 2210 Stagecoach West service 2 to Exminster, Miller Way arriving at 2322 on Friday.
We then walk the 6 minutes (0 3 miles) to Exton Village and get the 0807 Stagecoach South West service 57 Gold to Brixington (Brixington Drive), arriving at 0832 Saturday morning.
I assume we are at the Brixington Drive stop on Brixington Lane (too many Brixingtons), so we will walk 9 minutes, 0.4 mile to the Harwood Close bus stop on St John's Road and await the 0848 Stagecoach South West service 98 to Littleham, Magnolia Avenue arriving there at 0854 on Saturday morning.
We then walk to the Tesco Superstore and get the 09:13 Stagecoach South West service 157 to Sidmouth (Triangle (Stop A)), arriving 10:03 Saturday morning/
This goes a strange way to Sidmouth as it gets to Pinn then turns round and goes a rather long way round to Sidmouth
We appear to be too far to walk for another service, so we wait for the 14:11 Hatch Green Coaches service 382 to Whimple (Station Road), arriving at 14:35 Saturday afternoon.
With only the 382 or the train we opt for the latter, walking up Station Rd (1 minute) to get there. We board the 1524 South Western Railway service towards Exeter, alighting at the relatively new station of Cranbrook at 1528 on Saturday.
We take the 8 minute 0.4 mile walk to Hayes Square where we catch the 1544 Stagecoach West service 4 to Kilmington, Old Inn arriving at 1642 on Saturday.
There appear to be no other services within walking distance here so we get the 17:22 Stagecoach South West service 4 to Honiton (Rail Station), arriving at 17:38 Saturday afternoon.
Not a lot of options, so we may as well continue our circular tour and get the 2249 Stagecoach South service 2 to Basingstoke, Bus Station arriving at 2300 on Saturday.
We then walk to Stop T (8 minutes, 0.4 miles) and get the 01:13 London United on behalf of Transport for London service N9 to Heathrow Terminal 5, arriving at 01:50 Sunday morning.
Crikey we've got around a bit since I was last online!
We have a bit of a wait now as it's Sunday as as board the 0657 Stagecoach South Coastliner service 700 to Hove(Palmeira Square), arriving there at 0711 on Sunday morning.
