If you fancy a seaside break, with an evening meal & entertainment, let me know 😊. The only requirement will be sunglasses & flip flops for a chilled group meet up 🤗

It sounds lovely, such a good plan! I won’t be around that weekend as its my birthday! But I hope you all have a lovely time, Stratford was such a laugh! Xx
-
Mo001 23rd December 2021 at 11:19 am
That’s a pity HH, as it would be lovely to meet you, but hopefully we’ll catch up at another meet up.
Have you got anything planned for your birthday or is it going to be a special surprise?? 😊x

HH 2021 23rd December 2021 at 11:23 am
Not at the mo, we always do something with the family though xxx

S.A. and Christy have kindly given accommodation options for anyone who would like to join us for the Devon meet up. I’ve detailed the 2 options in the header ‘North Devon meet up’ x

Chojo 27th December 2021 at 10:37 am
I’d quite like to attend if you’ll have me, but can’t say for definite just yet. Mums death has left me in a bit of a financial pickle so I won’t know until around the end of January if I can make it it or not.
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 10:50 am
We would love you to join us Chojo, it will be a very chilled seaside meet up. Linpap and my cousin are helping me arrange the get together. Sending a big hug to you at this difficult time and really hoping you can make it to the meet up 💜xx
-
Chojo 27th December 2021 at 10:54 am
Thanks Mo, I really would love to meet up. Based on what I read about Stratford it will be a blast!! X
Fingers crossed 🤞 -
Robert K 27th December 2021 at 11:01 am
You can’t compare Chojo.
Stratford = gallon of Prosecco
Barnstaple = tea and scones -
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 11:20 am
Did you not read my message Robert, Linpap is helping me organise the meet up. A chilled start then 🎉🎉🎉🏖🏖🏖🍹🍹🍹🍺🍺🍺xx
-
Robert K 27th December 2021 at 11:28 am
Oh ……… but Barnstable is very refined. Actually that applies to you and Linpap, so it should be okay.
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 11:44 am
Thank you Robert. Do you not fancy grabbing your bucket & spade and joining??? 🏖🏖🏖x
-
Robert K 27th December 2021 at 11:56 am
What! You mean you people actually exist!
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 12:03 pm
I’m pretty sure Devon holds a yearly sandcastle competition. We could always set up a RL team and get some practice in 😉x
-
Linpap 27th December 2021 at 9:01 pm
And then anything could happen…
-
Chojo 27th December 2021 at 11:53 am
I’m pretty sure we may be banned from Barnstaple after this mate. I for one will be having a glass or two 👍🏻

Gerard371 27th December 2021 at 11:20 am
Hi Mo01,
I’d like to put my name down, is the plan for a day in Barnstaple, in which case it’s better to book the premier Inn or somewhere close to the town centre?
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 11:38 am
Merry Xmas Gerard x
Perfect, I’ll add you to the list.
The plan is to meet in Barnstaple, then get the bus to one of the beautiful beaches for a few hours, then return to Barnstaple for a lovely meal (I’ll try and arrange evening entertainment (music)). If not you, Cheers and Chojo will have to step in and belt out a few hits 😉. Along with some drinks and a lot of laughs, for an evening party 🍺🍹🎉🎉🎉😊x
I’ll confirm numbers beginning March, so that we can get booked. Barnstaple would be the best place to stay as we’ll be there in the evening 😊x
-
Linpap 27th December 2021 at 8:51 pm
Wow Mo sounds like the plan is coming together can’t wait! Xx

-
Linpap 30th December 2021 at 5:24 pm
I’ve booked a room in the Royal and Fortescue Hotel via Booking.com it is very central and supposed to be nice hope a few others may join me there

Gerard371 27th December 2021 at 11:53 am
Merry Xmas Mo001,
That sounds great, except for me singing ,😁. I’m looking forward to it.
-
Chojo 27th December 2021 at 11:54 am
Mo you really don’t want me singing but if there’s a karaoke you’re going to have to tie me down!
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 11:59 am
Now there is an idea, I’ll see what I can do 😉x
-
Chojo 27th December 2021 at 12:02 pm
What karaoke or tying me down? 😉🤣🤣
-
Mo001 27th December 2021 at 12:08 pm
We’ll have to see on the night how you behave, I wouldn’t rule out the 2nd option 😉😉😉xx
-
Linpap 27th December 2021 at 8:52 pm
And we know you can be very naughty…
-
Linpap 27th December 2021 at 8:53 pm
Referring to Chojo not you Mo! 🤣🤣
-
Chojo 27th December 2021 at 9:04 pm
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean 😊

Linpap 29th December 2021 at 4:38 pm
Well I have booked a room at the Royal and Fortescue hotel in centre of Barnstaple for the night of Sat 30 April free cancellation up to 3 nights before
-
Mo001 29th December 2021 at 6:12 pm
Perfect Lin, that gives everyone another option for accommodation 👍😊xx
-
Brad_66 28th January 2022 at 3:12 pm
Thanks Lin. I’ve booked that hotel too 🎉 🍾🥳
-
Linpap 28th January 2022 at 3:17 pm
Think it’s going to be quite a party -just don’t expect me for breakfast 😉 actually I’m now going Friday so making it a two night stay

adeliza0165 30th December 2021 at 8:39 am
I love that area – particularly woolacombe – fabulous beach. I think Ilfracombe is next door – we went on a coach trip many years ago when kids were younger. Loved it!
You’re very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of England.-
Mo001 30th December 2021 at 2:07 pm
I totally agree Adeliza, it is a beautiful part of the world. I live the opposite end of the UK, but I’m lucky to have family that stay there. So I thought this would be my best chance to meet up with some of you guys 😊

-
Gerard371 23rd January 2022 at 9:12 pm
I’ve booked the Royal & Fortescue. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone again and also Mo001.
-
Woodcrafter-Keith 23rd January 2022 at 9:21 pm
Oooh I know Barnstaple quite well we used to do our weekly shop there when we lived near Bude might have to consider coming on this it sounds fun
-
Mo001 23rd January 2022 at 9:27 pm
That’s great W.K. I’m going to get in touch with everyone interested at the end of this month to confirm numbers as I don’t want to leave it to late to book a restaurant/entertainment 😊
-
-
Gerard371 23rd January 2022 at 9:30 pm
I think this time around , the ladies should post their pics first, and then the lads will post theirs.
Keep the best for last 😁-
Staying Alive 26th January 2022 at 9:13 pm

backofbeyond 27th January 2022 at 9:21 am
This sounds like a great idea that I’d have been interested in doing had I not already been booked to act as support vehicle for a night time charity bike ride that my wife and her sister are doing that weekend. Next time maybe.
We stayed in the Barnstaple Travel Lodge a few years ago when I was running in the Bideford half marathon. Nice hotel but set back as it is behind a BP garage and a KFC it feels more like being stranded in an industrial estate than a trip to the seaside. Nice cafe at Sainsburys down the road though. -
NeilB 27th January 2022 at 10:23 pm
Are we all aware that it’s a bank holiday weekend so traffic could be heavy on Friday and Sat morning?
-
Cheers on toast 27th January 2022 at 10:34 pm
Good point Neil, we hadn’t realised but were planning on splitting up the journey anyway.
-
Linpap 28th January 2022 at 12:48 pm
Yes I’m planning to come by train

Mo001 28th January 2022 at 8:34 am
Sunglasses / flip flops, sand castles: Are you guys ready for some fun exploring 🏖🏄♀️🏊♀️🩴🧗♀️😎😊
-
Cheers on toast 28th January 2022 at 9:49 am
That beach looks a bit too crowded for my liking.
-
Mo001 28th January 2022 at 9:53 am
I’ll see if I can move those 2 along for your arrival Cheers 😉😂
-
Staying Alive 28th January 2022 at 3:22 pm
I think Cheers on Toast is looking for a undue beech 😜
