Devon Revisited

Nov 10th, 2009 by PaPa in Down The Garden Path

It’s always interesting to drive round the M25 and then the M4 with someone who is essentially German. I haven’t driven anywhere for some time, but I had to put my driving hat on as I sat in the passenger seat in order to make sure my uncle didn’t launch our car up the embankment.

devonI decided to use the original German ‘links’ (left) on order to spur my uncle on to the correct side of the road – especially important on the smaller roads. And for a German, he didn’t have too much fondness for indicating which direction he wished to go in, much to the annoyance of native drivers.

He pencilled in far less than the 7 hours it took us to reach the tranquil fields of Devonshire, where the narrow country lanes proved to be particularly heart-stopping. We stopped for several coffees on the way down, but it didn’t prevent my uncle from breaking into full German for ten minutes before he realised I couldn’t understand a word.

It was to be 3am by the time we arrived in a rain soaked Dartmoor, where a row of traditional pasties awaited the hungry traveller.
