First 'proper' run 2016

The first run of 2016 was to Bideford (Devon) and a stop at ‘Cafe Onboard’ which is at the end of Bideford quay. It is pretty eccentric. If Lewis Carroll were to run a cafe, it would probably be like this one, labelling things, ‘eat me’ and ‘drink me’ for a visiting Alice.
The owner of this ex Royal Navy vessel, a very nice, Anete, (pictured) came out to take a photo of the Morgan. Cafe Onboard gets a good review on Trip Advisor so if you are in Bideford this year it may be worth a visit.

Nice to know the Morgan has lost none of its magnetism during the winter. Hopefully, spring starts here…

The very town I where I was brunged up! I rarely see Bideford mentioned anywhere...

How do they manage when the tide's out? There's quite a drop!

Had anyone in Bideford seen a 3 wheeler before?

Apparently, the navy had it moored at Appledore for a while. They removed the engine for some reason. So it was towed here and when the tide goes out it settles on the sand but still accessible.

Bideford is England as it was 40 years ago. If you went back you probably wouldn't notice too much change.
I don't think they see many three wheelers judging by the interest.
