    Yep, I enjoyed that, had many a bimble around down that way, always like to take the little 'back road' past Powderham church and on through....... Seeing your footage of Dawlish made me realise that i haven't been that way for some time because i haven't seen that new flood defence work that they've done. Looking forward to the Teignmouth episode, my favourite end destination 👌👍

    Really enjoyed this one even though all my childhood holidays back in the 60's were spent in Budleigh Salterton where we stayed with Mrs Madge who charged 6 guineas (that's 6 pounds and 30p) pp pw for BB&EM, lovely part of the world. Loved the exhaust note.

    great place to sit and reflect and eat a pasty! i see why this is your favorite ride. i live on the water and i do not have those entertainment.... wait, Virginia Beach has the entertainment for families. soon to have a Surf Park that has been built by a famous singer and native, Pharrell Williams. But its all modern looking as they get rid of the old and in with the new. again, thank you for the tour, wonderful places.

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  23 часа назад +1

      I love it here, although its becoming over developed in Exeter it still feels like you can get away from it all .....JUst!
      I don't mind crockles because when they are going down the Beach - I often am too with the family. so although the roads get busier it keeps moving.
      The fustrating thing is when you go to park at midday and all the spaces are taken....thats a pain....Still keeps the energy aive down there..... Lots of people come from your area. Have a good week.

      I've just been researching the atmospheric Railway, something I've always heard of but never knew what it was, and that pumping house I have passed 5000 times and never knew what it was even though it intriged me.
      I'd really like to get in side and have a look. I expect the old pump gear has gone but I would have really liked to see that as well. Next time I'm passing I'd like to have a look again and see if I can get inside!
