Default Went away for the weekend

Went away to North Devon over the weekend, and found some excellent driving roads. I reckon it would be a perfect S2000 meet if anybody wanted to organise one around there - I can't because I couldn't get down there to plan a route or anything, but I reckon it would be worth it.

I drove down a mixture of roads, from coastal roads with lovely scenery (Croyde to Woolacombe to Morthoe), down narrow country lanes (Morthoe to Ilfracombe, for example)

On our way home, we drove back along the coast Ilfracome to Lynton/Lynmouth to Porlock (amazing toll road with loads of hairpin bends around Porlock - perfect for a whole load of S2000s!), then up onto Exmoor along to Minehead, Bridgwater, Weston-Super-Mare etc.

Fantastic!

Heh - no, we went on the toll road instead (the one with the hairpins) which was really cool

Been up and down Porlock hill years ago - what a hill!
