I don't think Ana works in the area now and she sold her Morgan last year.

A nice early evening coastal run out to Kingsbridge and back and as I was driving back along the Slapton Line noticed the CEFAS Endeavour offshore surveying the underwater environs, she is based in Lowestoft and has been around these parts for about a week now. I also noticed a couple of total prats on motorbikes come screaming by about at about 90 in the 40 zone and when I got to Strete Gate end there they were sitting yapping away to each other

Bud 4/4 - Stanley Too right, we have lost a hell of a lot of bikers in the Westcountry this year already and the Polis have been visiting known biker venues re educating the hobbiest / born again brigade so hopefully it will help relieve the current rate of attrition.

Looks like a good itinerary. Will you be returning from Messina and driving up the length of Italy?
