Cornwall has nice beeches, but for driving road pleasure i prefer South Devon, there are some lovely roads and scenery.

Well the parking charges in Purbeck were horrendous - as was the site fee, New Forest was pretty, got onto Bournmouth beach 2 hours £1 per hour.

Cornwall was £2 all day park right next to the beach.

Lyme Regis was naff, was £4.70 at one CP for 2 hours, then found a better one for £1.60

£6.50 a night near LR and still in Devon!

Axminster to Bath is a terrible route, A358 OK, A303 mad, A37 full of doddery old gits as was A361, A46 was good though - a real fast drive to Nailsworth - and a road I know a bit, only passed by two cars and caught them both up at lights.

Did get a road rage woman at Exeter - nearly took the front end off my car, I lost it and drove after her (to get reg to report to Police - however Sue said I would have to drag her off first!!!!) but gave up when I saw my speed, I am not mentioning it but I was speeding on a DC but would be just about OK on a French AutoRoute.

Came off on the A30 junction, there is one bit where it goes 2+2 to 4 lanes then to 3 I was in the lane which the outer lane merged into and I was not going fast as it was from a start.

It would have been her fault if I had T Boned her as I had the lane
