Lol Feck all wrong with Bristol mate, can be on the brecons,mendips,Devon beaches or Cotswolds in an hour and a day on the ale round the harbour side is hard to beat in summer, my only grief is the traffic as I,m on a main road into the center but ten minutes in the opposite direction and I,m in the fields, which is quite satisfying when I,m heading out with the dogs in the morning looking at all the sad faces going the opposite way, I get sad when I see fields and woods I used to hunt over becoming houses, but we're is,nt that happening apart from Scotland so here I,ll stay for now Edited June 22, 2018 by Greyman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,536 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Similar here, I did 2 hours coastpath walk down to Harlyn bay, cold cider (£4,10) at a bar just off the beach then a mile or so up the lanes back to the van. Parked for free while all the Emmet's are paying £5 for 2 hours in somebody's field, took the back lanes back to dodge the holiday traffic, happy days. Cheers, D.

Yes mate, Emmet is Cornish for ants lol visitors swarming all over the place with no seeming destination. Grockles are what Devonians call visitors/tourists, not sure about the origin? Cheers, D.
