This was our first visit to the sea wall at Teignmouth, in
July 1971. We stopped off briefly on our way to Cornwall. This famous location
for train watchers, is where the main line from Penzance leaves the Teign
estuary and passes through Teignmouth station on a sharp curve. This takes it
onto the sea wall and along the scenic stretch of coastline to Dawlish Warren
and the Exe estuary. We have been back there many times since then. My
reactions were a little slow, as a Paddington-bound Western diesel sped beneath
the Eastcliff Walk footbridge. I must have had other things on my mind.
