Just getting over catching Covid from our son after he travelled all the way from NZ to try and kill his parents off

Taken four weeks to recover but finally feeling healthy-ish again. Hope it takes it easy on you every one seems to be different. Catch you and Red next time.

Simple plan. Meet at Route 5, Haldon Hill, Exeter EX6 7XS. 10:00am for a 10:15 get away. Bimble across the moor to the old police station, Price Town. Brunch for any who fancy it. Time TBC Then more moorland fun back across to for a finish at Buckland Abbey.

As some will already know Edd, (our son) is recovering from a broken neck, so don't expect a speed fest. But there are plenty of corners to enjoy at modest speeds.

Going so far

BuzyG Silver MR
MikeyH Silver E85
Phoenixboy Grey E89 (Alas can't rise from the ashes on this occasion.)
Clarker63 Orange E89 (Covid, Get well soon.)
Vonlipvig Black E89 (Unlikely due to Alcohol poisoning.)
Smart Bear Silver E89
RJBaz 3.4 Black Alpina
W63 Black Coupe
Mc Butler Red E89

Let me know if you can make it.

OK have now booked two booths for Sunday 12:30 at Old police station. That is seating for eight of us. If you are definite and bringing a partner, then please let me know quickly in case we need another.

Morning route should take us around two hours with a photo stop near Gutter tor

After lunch a shorter drive to Buckfast Abbey with a photo stop above Dartmeet.

Just need the sun and a lottery win to fill the tank and I'm ready.

Hi John,
I thought the final destination at Buckland Abbey but you've changed it to Buckfast Abbey

Hilary and I are going to a party this evening at Cambourne so we decided to meet you all later either at Gutter Tor or The Old Police Station and it will give me another hour sleep

PM will be sent re-phone numbers.

My bad it was always Buckfast Abbey in my poor old brain. Just too many bucking Abbeys on Dartmoor for me to write it down correctly.

Hi Nick, delighted to have you aboard.

Looking like a nice dry day if the pine cones and seaweed are correct

Put the car on the drive five mins ago. Now completely soaked.

Love the SW.
