ooooo-arrrrrrrr!

Used to go there quite a bit as a kid,  from my limited experience
its nice if you like countryside, surfing, countryfolk.  It is a beautiful place.

if you don't?  its boring, although i hear Newquay is a good place to go out.  Where abouts in Devon?

Where in Devon?
"Willy's gone and made another,
Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."

Area near Barnstaple on the coast - got stuck behind every caravan in the country yesterday going to a job interview.

Just down the M5 from Bristol.

I know they raise some fine Labradors out by Dartmoor.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
