we both knew this area well, OH comes from a town just 13 miles up the road and my family comes from and is well known in Barnstaple. this town where we now live was RIGHT IN THE CENTRE of the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak and it should have died but the locals are more resillient than that and the place came back stronger than before. i was brought up with Dartmoor on my doorstep and although a city boy i have farming in my genes, so the great outdoors is in my blood.and as BB said we never had computers and personal phones in our youth so we had to go outdoors and EXPLORE!!

A friend of mine "retired" to a beautiful hidden valley just to the north of Barnstaple.... maybe 30 minuts from the city centre but absolutely no passing traffic , nor wanderers as its a dead end lane and no footpaths anywhere near.
When god made heaven, he was imagining North Devon, I reckon
:-)
[/quote) officially Barnstaple is a TOWN not a city but nevermind, 30 minutes is quite a way could be anywhere from Ilfracombe to Minehead. Devon IS heaven but we're keeping it for Devonian's ONLY!

Sorry, damn thing wouldnt work properly!! what i was trying to say was: officially Barnstaple is a TOWN not a city but never mind, 30 minutes away covers a big area, could be anywhere from Ilfracombe to Porlock. i KNOW Devon IS heaven but its reserved for DEVONIAN's only!!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
