Havnt planned what can go wrong (1 Viewer)

[PORKSTER]

Just about to leave for west country all I have planned is I have put Ilfracombe into sat nav. I think I will post this little trip up for fun and anyone can chip in with ideas suggestions if they wish. So I have full fridge full water half tank of diesel and a desire to get away from reality and kick back and relax.

If ya dont hear from me again the trip started a total disaster enjoy your weekend People

If you haven't planned, nothing can go wrong!
You can't be late...
You can't miss your turning...

Just don't eat any pasties or cream teas Paul - remember - Big Funster Fat Fight!

Enjoy your holiday

Getting close to the time of year when the West Country fills up and us lot here near Portsmouth rise about 2 feet out of the sea as England gently tilts Westward and Cornish villages get flooded!!

LOVE Ilfracombe

Many happy childhood memories. We are hoping to make a return there soon, see a program on TV with Robson Green, there are some "Victorian" bathing/swimming rock/pools along a part of the beach. Check it out if you can. Thats what we intend to do on our return. I knew nothing of them till seeing on TV.

From Ilfracombe head for Woolacombe beach and Croyde Bay. Excellent beaches.

51.0091244 -3.5259251 Anchor Inn at Exebridge is nice and they have a nice large car park where we stayed overnight. Its down by the river so a really nice spot. Some of the roads round Dulverton are a little narrow involving some long distance reversing when we meet a skip wagon coming the other way. All the cars behind us also had to reverse. Dunster Castle is nice if you are in the National Trust. Only thing I remember about Minehead was SWMBO having a shower in one of the car parks while I fetched water from the tap I had found to fill the tank.

[DanielFord]

Planning is highly overrated. You've done the same amount of planning we do, ie you picked an area!

Just a quick recap 2 nights off piste camping morning walking round West Bay. Then afternoon on the beach way Hong world go bye and a wedding under the cliffs. Meal in the restaurant The Station Kitchen. Then for dessert walk round town and a nice 99.

Today we walked round car boot then over the golf course to Freshwater and back along coast. Under the cliffs back to the bay where we bought 2 pasties to have with salad at the van. Bit more chilling out and people watching. I'm sticking with the idea to head for Ilfracombe but unsure where yet.
here is a few photos
Connection slow post more when I can

 

[PORKSTER]

Heading to ilfracombe will try to off piste tonight but will then need campsite any suggestions welcome

 

[PORKSTER]

Anyone know where to find the rain tap so I can turn it off ? Currently sitting at Bude rugby club did try football club but it was a bit remote no worse or no better than where we are.try to get a look around here and then Boscastle and Tintagal will be next I think.
