I haven’t been there for years, probably 40, if that the village where some of the properties went into the sea. I have looked on maps and it seems you can, as I understand through the ruins have gone. East Prawle, Portelmouth, Salcoombe, Bantham. Plus Blackpool sands, Slapton, Beesands and Dartmouth of course all were regular visited. Edited May 28, 2020 by Derek Hurford Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hi, yesterday we had a 220 miles drive to visit friends and their lovely garden near Würzburg at the river Main.

Cracking Day. John. We went there this week too but weren't sure if we were meant to picnic there as the tables etc were all stacked. We went in the 1927 Morris for a change. Ended up having our picnic in the carpark at Birdoswald Roman Fort. Then went on for a lovely walk at Gilsland Spa - not a soul about. The next day was an outing for the TR and we just had to go up to Hartside Summit. I am just so impressed with the torque of these cars. Since lockdown relaxation we have covered 300 miles in the TR and loved every minute Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been having trouble with my eyesight recently, and I was advised it was the best place to go to get it tested. Charlie. We drove to Barnard Castle by accident (honest m'lud) on 30/5. It was a glorious day.Tried to do a walk and picnic near Alston but the path was closed so we headed to High Force but it was crammed with cars so we drove on to Barney where I went to school many years ago. We picnicked in the woods down by the river came back to Carlisle with a splendid drive on the Middleton in Teasdale to Brough road. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 We had a great drive out today, not too hot but windy, to see Merlin's Castle, does anybody recognise it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, hem, hem, yes. I shall "own up". I'm systematically watching the Netflix series, now up to Series 2. The locations are stunning, castle interiors included, acting less wooden as series unfolds. Did you get a chance to see the Great Hall too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Château de Pierrefonds. Went to the town a couple of years ago with Mrs D. As well as the the chateau it is a pleasant little town for an over night’s stop. Several interesting buildings, as well as the chateau. Not too impressed with the hotel though. The hotel was empty, but they still put us in a room 3 floors up with winding stairs and no lift. Plastic coffee cups in the room . Told “The restaurant will be packed tonight, so you’d better book” We did not book and there were only two other people in there. Watched as he filled the carafe of “House wine “ from a 3 litre wine box. And the owner never smiled once. (ups… sorry… thought this was TripAdvisor”…) Charlie.

John L Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks Charlie your right, which was the Hotel, will remember not to stay there, sounds awful. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 It was Hotel Beaudon. To be fair, Trip Advisor does rank it as the best hotel in the town (There are only 3 hotels in total in the town though.) My wife rated it as “Average”, and there were many other comments saying how good it was. I think my wife summed it up best with the comment; “We thought £97 for room only was quite expensive."(That was 3 years ago.) Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Did something I found interesting today, went to Berry Pomeroy Castle woods for a walk, then drove down to Totnes by the Dart parked up little walk then back home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Today was a lovely summer day, all day sunny but not more than 28°C, also at South Germany today was a "bridge day" from Corpus Christi to the weekend. So me and my wife had a very nice 2 x 75 miles drive through the northern Black Forest to the town of Baden-Baden. We love to drive and to stay there and try to do this at least one time each year. The town was already very touristic again "after" (we will see) Covid 19, but with a lot of attention for each other. To my surprise my wife wanted to visit the TR Shop Baden-Baden to buy some bits an pieces. Guess what a lucky man I am with my wife at the TR shop...

Z320 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Baden is the town at the county with the same name, so this is "Baden at Baden". Baden is from Bad, translated bath from the mineral springs, roman foundation. Quite a little bit like your english Bath, where we also love to stay Edited June 13, 2020 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
