Not sure what you fancy for a lunch stop but last time I went on a rideout down there we parked up in front of the sea wall in lynmouth and had fish and chips from the chippy. There were quite a lot of bikes and it was nice to stretch your legs while wandering up and down the seafront admiring all the other bikes.

Sound like a good plan, but we need an indoor option in case of a rainy day, is there bike friendly pub in Lynmouth.

Would a Travelodge do. It's about a mile away from the start point.

I would of hoped I'd be back on the bike then, so that would be cool but with my luck a stray plane will escape from heathrow and knock me off

Theres a couple of pubs in that general area. I know one sprang to mind but I discounted it as it had a steep gravel car park.

Somebody needs to do a recon, If I get time I'll pop down that way and see what i can scope out.

Liz is away this weekend and I like that road down into Lynton / Lynmouth If its dry I intend to go down and have a look round and see if theres any likely pubs we can stop at.

I also think there is what looked like a nice Pub in Watchet that had a big flat tarmac carpark that might be a good place to stop.

Is this being planned as a big day trip or is there an overnight stay involved?

Fizz, heading from Yeovil, would the best way be to Honiton on the 303 then turn to Cullompton?

Yep thats the way I'd go. Theres a nice twisty back road from Honiton out to Cullompton that is absoloutly ace fun. I cant recall the road number off the top of my head I'll look it up tonight for you.

I think its just a day trip though.
