June meet Sunday 30th

Post by richwill » Mon Jun 03, 2013 4:32 pm

Following the success of the last meet we have now agreed to hold this months meet at the Double Locks on the Exeter canalside.
This location offers canalside walks and cycle paths for those who are feeling energetic.
Follow the link to find out more about the pub and also directions to find it.
Please be careful on the bridge over the canal it is a little narrow.
We should be there from 10.30am.

It was a very good meet. Photos will no doubt be added later. ( Janner Vanner had his camera on the go all day ) The weather was perfect and great to see everyone again. As it went so well we will be holding another meet there on the weekend of 10th - 11th August.
All are welcome.
There is camping available at the pub and the intention is to get as many as we can to stay the Saturday night.
I look forward to your replies.
Cheers for now Rich

Bu**er, wish id seen this earlier, i spent last weekend freezing in the wind and fog, yes fog at stowford farm campsite in north Devon. A wee run down to exeter would have been just the ticket.
Can any of you locals tell me what it is with all the big hedges? i drove down the Atlantic highway to Bude and on to Port Isaac and hardly saw the atlantic as the hedges were so high!
Enjoyed my first trip to Devon Cornwall even though it was a fair hike from Scotland some 1650km in total bongo ran like a dream.
