Plymouth beano

[sunsetter]

well its as simple as this

took a train ride to plymouth, wembury to be precise, to visit a friend.
it got very messy,but did manage to get out and see some scenery, take some pics.
quite a nice part of the world

this is where the train from here took me



after a mad scramble through the london underground to paddington, i boarded a train going to these places



i had competely forgot about a certain big festival in the someset area, so the train was jam packed with festival heads until castle cary.
here they are getting off just as it started to rain

after a smooth ride into Plymouth with a few of these to ease the way


my buddy Mark met me at the station, and a few hours of catching up and craziness ensued and George the boxer ate my sock

Where are the photos from the train? Expecially the Exeter to Newton Abbot stretch. Down the river Exe, along the coast, and up the river Teign. Beautiful.

ok time for some of plymouth and the scenery







after a hearty breakfast in a local cafe on a hill overlooking the sea, we went to a few of the towns more salubriuos places in the union street area





no pics of the local brass sorry about that
but this guy seemed to have had his fair share




after taking a drive round plymouth central we retired to the village pub in wembury called the odd wheel

Never mind. It's a good trip to do in day light if you get the chance.
Did you get a bit of a trip up the river?
Captain Jaspers sandwiches on the Barbican? Splendid kit. I'm quite home sick.

Yes, a bit. I used to sail out of QAB and had a lot of good times all round the area. It's changed a lot but some of the old pubs are still going strong. I hope to get back at the end of July for a few weeks. Nice photos well done.
A mate of mine did a few gigs there (ex Armada band) Some good nights.

Nice pics sunsetter. Sounds like a great place to throw a few back.
Good to see barmaid Kelly loosened up over time. Nice smile.
She's now in good company among TD featured wimmin.

[sunsetter]

kelly has loosened up, she 3 kids and is looking for a nice bloke, she dosent like bad boys, and hates heavy metal
