South West Road trip ?

[dsw]

Yes thankfully there’s plenty of places the grockles don’t know about, or won’t bother going to.
I actually don’t mind seeing the area busy, it’s the roads that get me.

National drive like a –unt day is the norm now.

I have been catching fish tat but they have not really been worth reporting that’s all , I thought a bream and a red mullet were good fish ?

Agreed..the roads in the South West are awful.

At least we are used to them it’s just when thousands of visitors come here our roads can’t cope with them

Yep, completely unable to drive most of them, unless it’s dual carriageway or suburbia

So it seems, but it’s dawdlers and the indecisive that wind me up, not speeders, although they’re idiots too.
Why people just can’t drive roads normally, I’ve never understood.
Anyway I’ll stop going on about it on John’s thread.

I did like Ferrybridge the one time I fished there, but haven’t been again for some reason.
It does get pretty rammed I have to say, but that’s Chesil

It’s a great beach but it’s a bit far from plymouth,

Cracking fishing report and great pics. Lovely to see some of the tropical species come into our shores.

Heard a trigger was caught from Plymouth this week, so could be an interesting September.

Yep, it’s easy two hours for me normally, what is it for you? What should it be without rammed roads I mean?

Tourists. Bane of our lives in the South West in terms of crap driving and road congestion.

Seems a bit odd moaning about tourists using the roads as both of you have travelled a fair few miles from your bases over the last couple of days ?‍?

How far does a local have to travel to be classed as a tourist ?

Pot kettle spring to mind ?‍

I don’t know if visiting somewhere else in your own county qualifies as a ‘tourist’, but even if it does , they won’t find me holding up the roads

Yes it’s too much isn’t it?
What I don’t understand is how some people can drive so slow on the A35? It’s a lovely road, easy to drive.
I was very tempted to go down to the meet today but just couldn’t face three hours or so to do what’s normally a 1.45 journey

Yep thats the only reason i didnt go myself . I would have enjoyed having a meet with some of the guys on this site and hopefully learnt something. The thought of 50mile queues of caravans and the walking past miles of fluff chuckers no thanks but next time maybe

It's not the Roads Flappy, it's the idiots we get down here with no consideration for the locals, and the inability to drive unless they have a pavement one side & white lines on the other. When there are white lines, they tend to keep their offside wheels on 'em! As my mate used to say "No sense to drive owt"!

 

[Trampster]

Great report John & Bob, and some good photos! Nice few unusual species too. Fair distance to go, but always good when Bob & John are off on a 'Road Trip'! ????
