West Country Epiblog

We were away for 19 days in all visiting Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and the Forest of Dean seeking out food festivals. We moved 12 times stopping on 4 Britstops, CC and CCC main sites, a CL and several commercial sites. We covered about 800 miles and the longest stay was 3 nights at the small site at East Crinnis.

We fished at several sites in between foody events. The Cornish Food festival at Truro was poor, the Newquay Fish festival had a nice location on the quay with some good sea food to eat. The Forest of Dean festival was the best and we only found that accidentally while looking for a newspaper shop. The same was true of the Country and Western festival which we found while looking for a site near to Western Super Mare.

The 3lb rainbow trout I caught at Redbrook, in the Wye Valley, on the way home was delicious by the way.
