Holiday 25th July 2009

My friend Rich borrowed his parents' car and off we went on holiday.

We hadn't seen each other since i moved to Devon and i was hoping to show him the nicer side of the West Country, but unfortunatley, the weather just didn't want to play. There were days in July this year when the weather was as bad as it had been in February - and it had been a bad February.

Still, Rich took it like it was just another day in the Valleys and we had a great week.

So, needless to say, the photos are pretty lacking as there wasn't many times we ventured out and about and the only really sunny day was the day in Newquay.

  

 

The first campsite, Manor House Farm at Strete (near Dartmouth)...



Some photos around Dartmouth...









The River Dart and Kingswear on the other side...



Lots of yachts in Dartmouth...









Most of Dartmouth is tiny steep little roads packed with lovely terraced houses...















Rich...



Then we went to Cornwall, that's Rame Head...



Looking West...



A bird was hunting the cliffs just floating on the updrafts...







We had a go at fishing but the swell was a little much and the water was too murky...



I think this is Seaton, but could be wrong...









Back to the tent...



You can't see me - right?...



The only decent weather day we had we went to Newquay...









As bays go it's one of the nicest...



Has some very nice des'res's...



















I like wind farms...



















There was a seal in the marina...


It was hanging around waiting for the tourist boats and fishing boats to come in to get some free fish...

























I didn't take any pics of the town itself as it was mostly a tatt market for wanabee surfers and wanabee hippies. But all in all, Newquay ain't too bad...





Crazy gull...





I wasn't zooming this, i really did get this close with the camera...



And back to the tent...



And that was the last of my photos.

Until next time!

:-D
