No progress report since 18:03 - they're either in a pub as planned & can't be bothered updating, or in a low signal area - ie, anywhere outside Exeter.....

Yes to both options. Crud signal and that nice Mr Mudmagnet pointed us in the direction of a pub. We're now safely in the Travelodge but there's three people and two beds. John grumpy but now has the big bed and another bed found for for Mr Ross. All happy now.

In the remainder of the journey to Barnstaple yesterday we saw signs to th above 4 West Countries. Not too many local ones left to cop now!

 

Glorious North Devon and a rare empty road!:

So, Old Gringo's driving a bit fast, well, this week there's no benefit to him getting there late as he's got the layout in the van with him, unlike last Friday when he turned up just as the last of the lights were going up... :O

To be fair moving the van 10yds after unloading took him a fair while. We had a few boards up by the time the wanderer returned!

We're not far off the 50th anniversary of steam and the ACE finishing on the NCR. To mark the event John's long-suffering better half produced us a little correction to stick on the fascia.

Great too Treneglos all set up and Chris remembered the buildings.

 

Good beer and food last night! Out again tonight! At least you can walk from pub to hotel! John can have a drink as well. He might need it after today!

 

Have a good day!

Great to have the Bettyjaymin quotation on the front mate; didn't realise you had that. In fact the whole frontage looks superb.

If only the operators looked so beautiful.............................. :blackeye:

I suspect it was that aspect of the team's presentational skills that helped them get the nod for Black Country Blues. And no-one has looked back since that decision.
