I am in Scotland again. Took a speedboat ride down the Clyde yesterday from Glasgow to Dunoon. Superb.

Ilfracombe mate.
Never been before, and am really looking forward to it actually.
As response to Pauld, im not sure mate. When I meant big holiday, I meant Dubai last year etc.
nice round there fella. i reccomend you make time to visit lynmouth a bit along the coast from where you are staying. that place is one of the most beautiful places in britain imo. |

Just come back fromthe Brecon Beacons, Talybont on Usk to be precise. Gret boozers and the place I stayed was Gilestone Caravan Park. Facilities were superb and was really cheap. Loads of walks and things to do on the canal and pub grub is fantastic.
It's only about 2 hours from Swindon (if you live there)

I like it around there...whenever in Lynmouth though, I think of the Boscastle style flood, in Lynmouth 30 odd people perished whereas amazingly no-one in Boscastle. [url width=222 height=178]http://www.lyntonandlynmouth.info/images/floodb3.jpg[/url] When it rains around there, it's often quite severe. Some years back I was camping up on Exmoor alongside the East Lyn river, and had been out on the lash....had sausages on a campfire on the river bank before hitting the sack, woke the next morning to find most of the remains of said fire, washing around under the flysheet. |

I'd forgotten about the conspiracy theory...for those wanting to know, it was widely believed that the clouds had been "salted" by the MoD as part of a research project. Reminds me a bit of the news that came out a while back that Swindon had been sprayed with some sort of virus in the 50's as part of an experiment by Porton Down. |

And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

I should be ok, but thank you for your kind offer. Saying that, my arms are still peeling so I shouldn't complain |

The skin on my knees has only just stopped being red. It's a pretty impressive tan line, or should I say stripe.

I'm a little bit tempted by a day trip down to Lynmouth (from Bristol - on Sunday if the weather's good).
What's it like? Anything want visiting when I'm down there? How's parking? Will it be uncomfortably busy? Is it good for the dog?
