Today we planned to travel to the West Somerset Railway Rally in Bishops Lydeard near Taunton only to find what when we arrived that the event was canceled. So we drove about 4 hours for little reason in the end.

Apart form that attempt at visiting something worth reporting there has been little to comment on.

It’s a great coastal resort and was busy today due to the Summer Holiday season.
Had lunch in a pub and it was gear, very filling and went well with some Lager.
After lunch had a walk around the coast to walk the heavy lunch off :-)

The jurney was long and painfull due to slow moving traffic and did not arrive till 1pm.
We promptly went to a pub for lunch.
The lunch was great.
After lunch we had a look aroung the large town and beaches.

It was a good run though the country lanes and sharp bends. We had a ganders around town and had a pub lunch.
After lunch we headed up to Lynton, me and bro walked up the hill and the others took the cliff train up.It was a hard walk up as it was steep.
After having a walk around Lynton we headed back.

It was a longish run and the TomTom Navigator on my Pocket PC gave us some agrovation near the destination.
Once we arrived we had a wonder around the area and had lunch and then left before the rush hour.

It was suprisingly busy. As it was lunchtime when we arrived we went to a pub to order lunch, after 10 mins we were forced to evacuate due to a fire in the kitchen on the ground floor. So naturally we grabbed our beer and gear and fled downstairs and out to the car park at the front.
Once that was put out we got a refund and went elsewhere.
That was pretty much it for the day. Tomorrow we plan to go to Plymouth in South Devon.

Went for a beer in the town and had fun with a car breakdown. Had to use a recovery truck.

Now off the the pub!
