Couple of pics from today's Devon jaunt.
Once again I forgot to turn the camera to sport mode, so most of the interesting shots are blurred :( . Also didn't get everybody's names, so apologies in advance.

Start of the day ( well after 60 miles of motorway from Bristol) at Tiverton Parkway.
L to R. Mr & Mrs Xan173 , Anna , Valleyboy, Hornet bloke.

Arriving in Dunster.
A hornet, Marc, SteVe650, Anna.

Loads of people. Marc ignoring them all.

Also, when downloading my camera I found this of a fireblade superbike I took at last weeks cancelled Red bull air race. Well worth sitting in a car for four hours.

Stingo, at least you didn't get my face, camera repairs are expensive. I thought I'd escaped the photo frenzy :lol:

Yup, just stopped to make sure that we were going in the right direction. I'd only ridden 'that' road from the other direction. :oops:

My pix on the way.

the white rabbit

11-09-06, 06:29 AM

I went down that way a bit earlier this summer. Its lovely and I used to hike and camp all over exmoor years ago. But what spoils the run for me now is the awful drag Minehead back to Bridgewater (40s, double whites). Bad in the car as well!. But I guess there's other routes.
Lovely tho.
