Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

Looks like you had a great mini adventure. :thumbsup:

Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

And a final one that we didn't take but had to have....

Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

It was sooooo windy!

For the uninitiated, Frith Street is the location of the weekly Friday night Soho Massive meet.

Even Northwind's been to visit us... and I'm sure he's further than 323 miles away.

Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

The photo of you on Porlock hill is on the toll road isn't it? If so did you ride the normal hill?

The A39 from Bridgwater to Lynmouth is one of my favourite roads (when you catch it at a quiet time), did you follow it from Lynmouth to Barnstaple? That section is superb too!

I often go from Windsor to North Devon and take the A4 to Bath, then join the A39 to Barnstaple (with a little detour through Cheddar Gorge if I've got time!)

Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

I know we did the toll road bit cos the guy didnt charge us but i'll have to pass on all the rest of those questions.

The mighty Caz-Nav system lead they way and i happily followed :D

He did charge us... but the added advantage, for you, of having a CazNav in front (aside from reading maps, discovering just how deep the puddles were / slippy the mud was etc) was that I got to the toll man before you did. I paid for both of us. I stopped for a whole minute while I faffed around (hard to believe, I know) taking my gloves off, getting the money out etc. And you didn't notice? I know I'm a Dolly Daydream, but really Zig...:smt015

Yes, we went up it. Then back down it. Then took the toll road.

We did indeed. So many great roads round there...

I would blame me... I still don't believe it, also all photo-shopped like the moon landings.

Re: Two Go Mad in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall

I did go to the moon, how many bloody times do i have to tell everyone.

I. WENT. TO. THE. MOON.

And anyway photoshop didnt exist when we pretended we went to the moon.

D'oh! I mean erm, when we...oh...when it was....ah.

Balls. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!
