We have a rest then walk 5mins to catch the 9:30 Appledore to Instow ferry arriving at 9:40.
Note: these are rough times as the ferry goes back and forth between 9:30 and 12:30. Journey in about ten minutes. Ferry arrives by Instow, the quay.

It’s not entirely unreasonable given it’s a wait for a coach, but I agree it does seem a bit excessive.

Here, we walk up to Station Cross, where we board the 13:09 Dartline Coaches service 369 to Morchard Bishop, Greenaway, arriving at 13:42 Friday afternoon.
