Probably better to do the bit from Barnstaple to Braunton, Saunton, Croyde and on to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe then.... just a suggestion oh and back in 1988 I set a time of 34 minutes from Barnstaple Clock to Exeter St Davids Clock on my FJ1200.... not sure if you'd beat that !!!!

If they have built a motorway since 1988 i'll have a go.

Ha, last time i road it the surface was a right mess, full of pot holes and uneven finish, nice enough road otherwise, it takes you through some lovely Devon Countryside and along the River Taw (Tarka Way).

Looked at weather for next 7 days Devon. Cloudy and grim on Monday for the ride down but no rain, yiiippppeee
sunny for next few days, so all good, inshallah.

OK, Monday I have two jobs to look at, Tuesday I'm in the Tranny picking up Kitchen units from one of our suppliers in EXETER ! but have to take them to our fitter on site back in Yeovil, Wednesday I have two more jobs to look at, Thursday or Friday we have a chap coming down from London to pick up our Catering Trailer, Friday I have to take our son to train station then on to another job, Sat and Sunday is a MH trip with our daughter and her friend....... Looks unlikely we'll be meeting up again Bob but I'll do a bit more thinking about places to visit.

No worries Nev.
Grateful for the tips sent already.
I have a packed program for the time i am there and so looking forward to it.

To be honest this trip i am going to decide if i should give up biking (might get a small scoot to go get my Sunday paper )
OR
Buy another new one, first option is favorite.

Bob, are you meeting up with Roger?

No. Not had any correspondence with Roger in a long long time.
I'll be doing what i always do, free rider

Have fun!
