Wednesday 24th October



Weather at Slimbridge was kind to us and we spent a couple of pleasant days there exploring the Sharpness to Gloucester Canal and the next village of Frampton on Severn, a delightful village that has the longest village green in England. It certainly seemed it as we walked from one end to the other and back. Fortunately it had a pub at the far end and we sat in the autumn sunshine and enjoyed a leisurely drink while there.

After   a couple of days we moved on to Dulverton on Exmoor driving there via Dunster then across the moor. Not a route I would drive again in the motorhome but pleasant scenery, what we could see through the mist. Our friends Dave and Louise joined us at Dulverton and we spent most of our two days together chatting and catching up. We did manage to fit in a lovely circular walk from the town, arriving back by walking along the side of the River Barle, lovely. We enjoyed a meal out at the local Thai restaurant also. 

Altogether a really enjoyable couple of days in their company which we concluded by stopping off at the National Trust Knightshayes Court at Tiverton for a final coffee and cake.
