Exmoor A39 Porlock to Lynmouth
« on: July 13, 2020, 13:35:36 »
On Saturday I managed to get up to Exmoor for a ride that included most of the fantastic roads of SW Run. I was joined by our son who was on his TL1000. We managed to get some stretches of the roads to ourselves, which is good for a summer weekend. I filmed the ride from Porlock to Lynmouth on the A39 which is the most scenic part of the ride. Later on we swapped bikes for a great B road blast from South Molton to Oakfordbridge. I'm pleased to report that the VStrom & TL are evenly paced!

The run down into Lynmouth is fun There is sometimes a professional photographer in the lay-by at the top plying his trade.

Hugo. Last year the photographer was there on the hill. I paid for mine and have used it for my avatar picture  :)
