fortunately we all like something different... if you're happy with cheap and (possibly) cheerful, go for it - there's also the Holiday Inn Express, that's a bit more "mainstream"...

I woke up there after a gig once, bit jaded but it was a perfectly acceptable place to sleep, and the roast food went down well. Wouldn't chose to go on holiday there, but for a car cruise I wouldn't complain! Although yes speed bumps, at least on one of the entrances if not both

Just thinking ahead... do we know what numbers are going. Wondered about volume for ferry and pub. Once things are open i'm just thinking if we need to book well before?Aulday wrote: βFri Apr 09, 2021 11:02 pm I woke up there after a gig once, bit jaded but it was a perfectly acceptable place to sleep, and the roast food went down well.

Worth adding the names of those interested in the drive, plus those interested in the Pub lunch and adding to the OP's Original post.ibasniper wrote: βMon Apr 12, 2021 10:09 amJust thinking ahead... do we know what numbers are going.

Hi chaps
Yes I am building a tally and going to call ahead to the pub once the 'sign ups' tail off a bit. I'm hazarding between 10-20 atm but will go through the list more accurately soon.
If we get divided up by the ferry we'll have to live with it I guess. If only a couple get left behind they'll have to drop a cog and catch up I'm not sure the ferry will let us book spaces and we can't be sure of times either. I doubt there's room at the ferry port to park up and make sure we end up on the same crossing.
Likewise there's a big car park at hope cove, but if it's rammed we'll have to find nearby spaces, going to be the same situation anywhere really

If it's anything like today, we'll be lucky to get out of second gear
I forgot just how bad the local roads can be when the shackles are lifted. Just a suggestion if there's a big contingent - I'm happy to lead a "splinter group" once we get to Paignton and go to Dartmouth via Totnes, and then regroup once we're all across the water

I do like to go topless......

I'll check the numbers, if we have a lot then we can just go to Dartmouth via Totnes anyway to avoid ferry issues

You can wake me up on the way past my house, if your on the A38. Goes for any one else heading up from Cornwall. Though I'm not planning on getting to Exeter much before 09:15 tbh.

Booked my Airbnb for Friday night!
FYI for anyone else coming from further afield, the Travelodge on M5 has rooms available for Fri night from Β£39. And it literally couldn't be closer to the meeting point.
