away days part 2

[old hippy]

Well it made it ok only short break but feel better for it  just to see if i could cope with  eeyore, need to modify it slightly but will have to wait till ican find a chippy to do it for me,as i no wood carpenter,if it had wires then that wouldn't be a problem,
 Avg  fuel consumption 41mpg  ok ish but lot of up and down came back across country through devon  and went down the long way via croyde and barnstaple and bideford. Wild camped both nights, would have stayed longer but have someone coming here tommorow  for my old bus need to tidy it  up a bit.Didnt fancy been caught in traffic back from the south as monday bank holiday and peeps comoing back from long weekend.

Glad you had a good time.

Croyde is one of my old favourite haunts spent many a time there as I was growing up and into my 20's in all seasons. My family all loved the surfing ....Lovely place.

I hope to get there this year, just hope my Bambi can cope with the hills!!!!!!! ; )
