Post by: Rotary-Motion on April 11, 2013, 05:57:49 PM

Not cheap these days either though...

Mind you I'm constantly shocked how expensive everything is getting these days, even food from the big supermarkets.  Trains are certainly no exception.

That a sign of getting old, as well as being constantly miserable and thinking that 20 litres of oil never used to weigh that much  ;D

Trains are cheap if you book in advance on the trainline.com

Four adults and one child return from Plymouth to Barnstaple including unlimited bus travel in Barnstaple cost me £52 all in - I was very pleased with that. Did book it four weeks in advance though.

Its a long way back from Jockland in that camper. Looks the kit though. Bet she's a bit of a guzzler at speed with that high top.
She does look straight and tidy.


Surely the 3 hours 44 minutes can't be right, can it? I would have thought it would be way further than that. Milk run if that's all it is. :P

What has a poor innocent haggis ever done to you? they are protected y,know

Why are they protected? Loss of natural environment stopping them breeding, same as clay pigeons?

Inter breeding with the jocks apparently
