Lovely pics TD, looks like a grand day out. And finished off with a pint I bet ?

 

[Dave Budd]

looks like it was a nice day for a trip out

one question though. Why were you a mile down the road from my house and you didn't call me for a pint?

 

[Wild Thing]

You could have rung me as well Teedee and we could have had a mini meet up.

Nice pics, I'm going to have to visit that place with Mrs Wild Thing.

Cheers

Sorry Lads !!, Was a bit of a spontaneous jolly, i owe you a pint.

Takers?

Nice pictures TeeDee.

It's a beautiful area. I havn't been to that part of Dartmoor for a while. I used to park the car at Clifford bridge and walk along the riverside to the pub. (Anglers rest it used to be called). It's a lovely walk especially at this time of year with all the colours on the trees changing. There's a couple of hillforts near there too, well worth a visit. Nice one.

I love Fingle Bridge. I used to go swimming there 20-odd years ago. That and silly tadpole fishing

I always love the fact there is 'castle drogo' nearby and you can see as you go up the hill. That always carried mystery for me as a little boy.

Shame I don't live in Devon anymore :/

 

[Tengu]

The pub does great, value for money sunday dindins! (you have to book

Did you see the ruined mill?

Yeah, but you could have seen the Sitka rip off in action.

I did clock the pack at the start of the Vid.
If you say its good , thats good enough for me ( of course the £100 odd quid saving may having something to do with it.)

What location were you camping at?

Looks an excellent trip.
