Walk And Talk in Tiverton

I have always enjoyed walking and exploring so when our family moved to Tiverton in 2006 it wasn't long before Elizabeth and I discovered a local group called "Walk & Talk". The group arranges planned walks almost every week of the year and with varying lengths so this suited me. My doctor had suggested exercise would be good for my health as it would help lower my blood pressure and the idea of walking in an organised group appealed to me as I am always wary of falling over as my hearing problems and tinnitus sometimes affect my balance. The group has introduced me to lots of local walks and recently trained me as one of their volunteer walk leaders. I have led several groups and one of my favourite routes takes in the market, the park, the castle and superb views up and down the River Exe. We made one such walk today in glorious sunny weather and our party of ten walkers plus my granddaughter Anna in her pushchair wound up at the Heathcoat Community Cente for coffee and cake afterwards. A lovely outing on a lovely day !

RE: RE: Walk And Talk in Tiverton

We used to visit the market at Tiverton (possibly Tuesday) where a market trader with a caravan sold end of lines and bankrrupt stock. He used to have a lady's straw hat with the top cut out of it and his spiel was 'I won't sell it for ten, not even nine, I will sell it for five pounds'. Is Tiverton market still going? We enjoyed looking at the cattle, sheep etc and the general buzz.
