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
