Stoke Gabriel in Devon - View over the River Dart
Went down to Devon this weekend for my Mum's birthday. We stayed at a really lovely little place in Stoke Gabriel, aptly called Stoke Gabriel Lodgings, overlooking the River Dart. Here is a bit of the Mavic footage I got while I was there.

23 Dec 13 Dartmouth in a storm with title
On 23 December 2013 Dart RNLI D class inshore lifeboat was tasked twice to yachts that had broken their moorings in the severe storm. The primary aim of the RNLI is to save lives but on these occasions we launched as there was a danger to boatmen who might try and secure their vessels and to those living afloat in the harbour.

BANKS OF THE RIVER DART (PART 2) DARTMOUTH CASTLE TO WARFLEET COVE DARMOUTH UK,
The flooded ria that forms the lower reaches of the Dart, with its deep water and steeply sloping valley sides, is a considerable barrier to crossing traffic. There are no bridges below Totnes.
At the mouth of the river, it separates the communities of Dartmouth and Kingswear. There have been proposals to bridge the river here, but these have come to nothing. Instead the two places are linked by, in order going upstream, the Lower Ferry, Passenger Ferry and Higher Ferry. The Lower and Higher ferries both carry vehicles.
Some 2.5 miles (4.0 km) upstream of Dartmouth, the Greenway Ferry carries pedestrians across the river from the village of Dittisham to Greenway Quay
A further 5 miles (8.0 km) upstream is Totnes, where the river is spanned by two road bridges, a railway bridge and a footbridge over. Totnes Bridge is the nearest bridge to the sea and is a road bridge built in 1826-28 by Charles Fowler. Some 1,000 feet (300 m) upstream is Brutus Bridge, constructed in 1982 as part of a road traffic-relief scheme. A further 0.5 miles (0.80 km) upstream, the railway bridge carries the National Rail Exeter to Plymouth line over the river. Immediately upstream of the railway bridge is a footbridge, built in 1993 to provide access to the Totnes (Littlehempston) terminus of the South Devon Railway.

As elsewhere in North America, Newfoundland was colonised by the British in competition with the French. However, the process was very much slower than was the case for Canada and the United States.
From as early as the 16th century, English and French fishermen sailed across the Atlantic in spring, spent the summer fishing the rich stocks of cod, and returned in autumn. Amongst the English, a triangular trade grew up: Supplies were sent from England to Newfoundland, salted fish and cod liver oil taken to the Mediterranean, and wine and fruit brought back from there to England.
The vast majority of the English fishermen and merchants were from Devon. In the period 1675-1681, for example, an average of 4000 Englishmen per year travelled in fishing boats to Newfoundland. Their most common ports of origin were Dartmouth (42%), Bideford & Barnstaple (18%), Plymouth (10%), Poole (9%) and Teignmouth (6%) Several Dartmouth merchants made fortunes from the triangular trade.
Settlement was slow and even discouraged at times. The size of the permanent population rose very gradually, from about 1000 in 1713 to 40,000 in 1830(3). The English first settled the area around St John's, the present capital, and then expanded along the entire east coast. The French concentrated on the north and south coasts. Naturally there was conflict, but the French never succeeded in establishing a permanent settlement. By 1830, over 80% of the population lived on the east coast; there were still very few settlers on the west coast, which was not settled until the second half of the 19th century. The vast majority of the permanent inhabitants were of English extraction, but there was a significant number of Irish.Newfoundland achieved responsible government in 1854, dominion status in 1909 and became (with Labrador) a province of Canada in 1949. For further information on the exploration and settlement of Newfoundland, visit the Newfoundland Heritage site. Wikipedia has a concise political history of the province.
