I am booked-in on Sunday. Travelling to see and stay with my sister (at Upton-on-Severn) on Saturday, either from Honiton area, or more probably from Barnstaple area. Anyone else for a back-roads run from Barnstaple via Exmoor, Bishop's Lydeard & Bridgwater Sat morning?

Yes, it was a great day out, and I learned a lot (mainly about non-F or TF products of the Longbridge factory) from other attendees. The best parts of the whole trip were the back-roads runs to & from Bridgwater from Barnstaple via Exmoor, Bishop's Lydeard & Bridgwater Sat morning + Sunday evening. That's not to say Toddington wasn't an excellent event, and there was one Coal-powered "Special" which was interesting, though I am not sure about the reference to "Santa" at this time of year:
