North Devon is stunning

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

North Devon is stunning

Post by Scott » Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:40 pm

Me, Jacquie, Bella the Dog and my camera are just back from a week in North Devon, Bongo clocked up 800 miles there, back and sight seeing and ran like a dream (although a few hills made my modded temp gauge shoot up :shock: )!

I took over 300 images whilst I was away (You can often see me sitting on hill tops with camera :wink: ), here are a few with the Bongo in them :lol:

Photos are great, and looks like you had good weather. Do I recognise Lynton/Lynmouth and is it Dunster Castle?

We were at Lynmouth a couple of weeks ago and rode the cliff railway up to Lynton, which was much quicker than driving, and an amazing piece of machinery!

Aha! Woolacombe. Had to look again. The pic with the golf course in the background. You were in the car park near the beach!

Veering slightly off topic for a second,

Berry Pomeroy near Newton Abbott is well worth a half day stop. The most haunted castle in the south west. Full of scenery & stories. 8)
