cms206 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 He should be used to it now, it's his own fault for not preparing in advance. We even turned up at your office last year!Try not to do that this year, it'll be a bit of a long way for a shortcut.

loserone Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Our current plan is to get off the ferry at 7pm on the Saturday and drive home in one. We may now get a hotel (after two weeks camping round France) and visit on Sunday morning before returning in one.. dollywobbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirton Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Accommodation booked, I am staying here honest!Blimey, that was quick. Was Crediton Tool Hire shop, recently now a bikers' (Think of older professionals not biker gang) cafe cum b&b,Probably a lot better than it looks, next door to reputable car sales. I'll enquire about it, nothing untoward reported so far. Opposite Crediton Parish Church built in red stone, not Devon red sandstone as many think but a local volcanic rock. Wetherspoons about 400m up the road. Crediton can have an interesting* night life. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Moto Velo looks a bit different now. There were several decent looking b&b around, but this looked the most interesting. https://unionroadmotovelo.com/rooms/ Mrs6C, chaseracer, Squire_Dawson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirton Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 I drove past 6cylinder's chosen habitation about 10 this morning; it does look a lot smarter than his first picture; the door to the left was open and full of motorbikes, and there was a non biker heading for the entrance. I'll go and try out the cafe soon'ish. About 5 miles from SF19. "Crittol Windows" - good job it's June not January, but you will still get the full benefit of road noise on the A377 Six-cylinder and Squire_Dawson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 In a similiar (read exactly) situation to SF18, SF19 does not fall on my long weekend or my annual leave but there appears to be a vacancy in the holiday block that can manage it. I shall give crew plan a phone / email at some point this week to enquire. Skizzer, Squire_Dawson and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He still goes on about chasing rabbits in the avensis. I don't trust him driving a manual. Yes I was also having kittens. Not so much about hitting any hay bale but I was rather concerned about me six cylinders car parked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I was just looking at the most stupid route I could take to this from Aberdeen. I came up with this: - Drive from Aberdeen to Cairnryan - Get ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast - Drive from Belfast to Dublin - Get ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg - Get ferry from Cherbourg to Bournemouth - Drive from Bournemouth to Exeter Perfectly* logical* Squire_Dawson, chodweaver, davidfowler2000 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The only suggestion to improve* Supernaut's choice of route, that I can think of would be to include the sale and purchase of different vehicles for the stages of the route. Sell Scottish car in Ireland, buy Irish car to sell in France, buy French car to sell in England and then do the same on the way home.

anonymous user Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Damn I missed one out, sell Scottish car in Belfast, buy car there and then sell that one in Dublin and buy another there to sell in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I might book myself into some accommodation this year. Unless I bring the LDV I probably won't have anything big enough to kip in comfortably, and I think my days of sleeping* in a tent are numbered. I have friends in Honiton who could probably put me up for the weekend, but that's still a bit of a trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Unless I bring the LDV Why would you even consider bringing anything less? Bumhats, that's the one weekend I can't do That's a shame - it would have even been within riding distance perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
