So pleased you are keeping Fudge safe within the Mo Ho. Have to admit I was quite upset at him being in the boot. I can relax now and can enjoy your vlogs again.
As a resident of Exeter I can confirm that your description of the area was fair and accurate. I also have a Motorhome so can relate to all the problems associated with getting around. Budleigh high street can be very busy and tight with traffic so would recommend turning left as you enter the town and following the sea front car park signs especially in a M H. Lovely video promoting our area thanks.
Thank you Keith, it was a pleasure to visit and thanks for the tip about turning before the town centre. Enjoy your bank holiday weekend 😊 Karina and Jules
One of my favourite parts of the world! I have family in the village of Woodbury and children at the Uni in Exeter. Topsham is also lovely. Really excellent video quality and you are such considerate motorhomers!
Hi Karina and Jules, hope you are both well, I see Jules is looking more relaxed now driving the Motorhome. Hope you both have now gelled with your Motorhome, because she looks lovely. Exmouth beach looks beautiful, ideal for walks which Jayne and I enjoy, thankyou for your great videos, and keep them coming.
Thank you David, we are loving it and are counting down to all our trips. I am hoping to get behind the wheel but Jules is making up for lost time with the towing. I have enjoyed following your trips too and hope you have a nice bank holiday weekend. Happy travels, Karina and Jules 😊
I am enjoying your trips out, I agree about Darts Farm, having visited pre Covid, not somewhere I would revisit. Budleigh Salterton is lovely, good old fashioned seaside 😊
Just another lovely video guys, this is getting us so excited for our first caravan! Such a pleasure to watch all the time, and we also just want to give Fudge a big cuddle. Also, can smell the lovely fish and chips from here! Keep the awesome videos and practical information coming! Tom & Janine x
Local here. Thank you for visiting our lovely town :) I see people mentioning krispies as the best fish and chips (it did win an award afterall). However, Alot of locals would argue that the proper fish and chips is better and tends to have a smaller que.
Very interesting guys , we dipped into Exeter racecourse site over night , off the Santander ferry from Plymouth , a couple of years ago but never looked around. We like the look of Budleigh Salterton. Thanks for sharing
Never been to this area but looks very nice. Great to see you showing how you can still get out in the Motorhome as that can be a concern. The fish and chips looked good. Thank you for the trip with you, Lou
Thanks once again😀. Really great presentation which we will be referring back to when we eventually get down there. All fish and chip info greatly received also appreciate cake and especially cream tea info ha ha. Read some of the comments about Fudge travelling....your response was very gracious👍🏽
Hi guys, the last video I watched was yous getting rid of the Adria caravan and moving to the dark side really enjoyed the video glad to see yous all well al need to catch up on previous content. Ps don't won't to start a fish and chip war but there's a chippy in Oban probably the best fish and chips you'll ever have 👍
I love your videos, they are so clear and informative, thank you. I have to say, I am relieved that your dog no longer travels in the garage - good decision.💕. We have three dogs of differing sizes and the biggest one travels on the bed ( securely fastened, of course). Thanks again for all the trouble you go to giving us all the information.
Another great video, your attention to detail is amazing, you could easily be a travel guide, actually going to exmouth in june, and took note of how busy it was for you, budleigh salterton looks very pretty might give it a visit, thankyou for the guide, good to see fudge enjoying the sun xxx
Thank you Linda, you will have a lovely time and I can certainly recommend these two places to visit and Sidmouth. Have a lovely week 😊Karina and Jules
Nice video. Been to these places also. Nice coastal path walk from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton, if you have the time. Love East Devon........ Sidmouth, Beer, Seaton, Branscombe etc. Keep safe.
We love Budleigh. Visited last year in the car, as Caravan parked elsewhere. Not sure we'd get our 8m Motorhome in those bays this year. My friend struggled in her transporter type. It was school holidays though.
It’s a lovely place, if the car parks were busy it would be more limited as to where to park. Eight metres is a fair length indeed 😊 Thanks for watching, Karina and Jules
Another great video and especially appreciate your comments about parking and how to find a suitable car park. Another great CL in Devon is Ilton Castle Farm Campsite overlooking the Kingsbridge estuary. A bit of a narrow road to get there but well worth it. Has a following of people who book every year.
Love your vlogs guys. They are very informative especially for those looking to park a Motorhome and need the bigger bays! The CL site looked really nice as well! We are off soon for our first weekend away which we are really looking forward to! Keep smiling guys👍 Best Wishes Sue, Brian and The Westies🐶🐾🐾🐾😀
Hi are you going to do a review of the van inside? The layout, facilities and how they are working for you all, do you think you will be able to down size or will it give you more freedom to park? Really interested to see how you pack the van for a short trip vs a longer holiday. If you have already done this sorry I must have mist it. Great to see you all enjoying yourselves and sharing info on parking, we have a 7.9 motorhome so tend to google bus and larger vehicle parking but the same as yourself pay for two tickets if no other paring is available
Hi Doris, yes we will be doing a review of the van, we are just waiting for time to do it so hopefully very soon 😊 We will miss the separate showers and toilet and layout of this Motorhome when our new one arrives. We still believe the narrower width and shorter length will suit us better. We have been really pleased with the used Motorhome though. Thank you for watching and I will try cover a few more bits about packing things. Have a nice week 😊 Karina and Jules
I live in Exmouth it's stunning we have the beach plus the picturesque river exe that wasn't shown here, neither was the sea front from orcombe point to the marina. The town is not massive like it was described, the chip shop in Exeter rd in Exmouth Capels was voted best in Britain a few times. There is 3 miles of sandy beach here is also a cycle path up the railway line along side the river exe to Topsham and Exeter further on it's only 20 minutes cycle from Exmouth to Topsham. Plenty to do and sea here in old England.
There’s a Rockfish restaurant in Exmouth which serves the best fish and chips ever. It’s right at the mouth of the Exe where the ferry comes in. They have an App which you can use to order and book tables from. Shows you where all their places are. I have no affiliation but I am a huge fan. Their haddock and chips is very good. 👍🏻
Thank you Huw and I will look out for that next time. We could have spent a few days exploring Exmouth properly as there was plenty to see. Karina and Jules
Hi, in general as regards to payment at CL sites....do you pay in advance of arrival (website?), at the farm house or do you pitch up and someone comes around for the cash?
Hello Albert.. all the sites are different I have paid like that on sites. Many have gone to pre-payment via website or bank transfer. When you book they will tell you how they like to be paid 😊 Karina
Should have gone to Greendale Farm just a couple of miles away. Proper chips and a lot cheaper than 10 quid. Krispies are operated.. Long wait and small portions
It is funny you mention Greendale, a lady messaged me last night with the same recommendation. We will be back in the area in the next few months so I will try them. Thank you and have a lovely weekend 😊 Karina
Hi Karina and Jules. Another great vlog. Thanks for doing a CL. We are going around Cornwall and Devon next year, but are going to do mainly CLs. With Mike (the Frenchies) Yourselves and us can't we get a fish and chips appreciation society going. 🐟🍟. Keep safe you two. Pete and Su.
Thanks Pete and Su, there are some amazing CL and CS sites you are spoilt for choice. We have a few more booked this year. Testing fish and chips is a very important part of a trip! 😊 Have a lovely week, Karina and Jules
Yes for the fish and chips if they are good don’t mind paying! And if it’s local fish wow ! We are the same with food can’t resist good food , nice to see Exmouth Next time you are Woolacoobe way try the Pelican at Barnstaple ( one for the dairy ) Cheers Gav ,Zehra and Rocky
From the beach to Otter Mill and up to Colaton Raleigh you'll find beavers. My lad cooked in the chippy. All chipped by hand. All fresh caught fish. The sea was crashing in tonight. Totally different then! Budleigh looks a ghost town as usual. Nice to visit. Not to live. Gods waiting room. The original Royston Vasey. No escape! 45 miserable years!
I have a house about 10mins from Exmouth,but rarely visit with the van during the summer,there's been a lot of controversy concerning Motorhome parking over the last few years,overnight parking on the esplanade seafront is now banned.Parking during the day is permitted but sadly spoilt by people overhanging the pavement with large vans.You were wise to pay for two bays as fines are imposed in EDC car parks.The local district council was considering putting a aire on the car park beside train station but no progress as yet. As you found. Budliegh is a lot more sedate,but both towns very busy in summer months and almost impossible to park a Motorhome anywhere unless your local and know a few spots.Phillip Brooms place is a nice quite little spot for couple of nights and not far from the Exe cycle way which runs from Exeter to Exmouth, a bike being the best option in the summer to visit either towns.Glad you enjoyed your stay,but totally different in the summer peak,which is why I tend to go elsewhere.
Thank you for the local knowledge Paulo, I can imagine it would be packed in summer.and best to consider public transport or a bike as you say. many thanks, Karina and Jules
Thank you Jamie and it was lovely to visit your area. CL is a Certified Location with The Caravan and Motorhome Club. A landowner can register with the Club for permission to have a small number of pitches and through this scheme they dont have to go through planning permission for the small site. The CL is then run by the owner who takes their own bookings but you can find them listed on the Club website. I can certainly recommend motorhoming 😊 Karina
Just a heads up for anyone visiting Exmouth, whilst the COVID testing station is in use, motorhomes are allowed two car spaces so you need only pay your £11 for overnight.
I never drink the water on sites so the whole food grade hose thing is a bit of an expensive nonsense to me. I just buy a case of bottled 6 x 2 litre bottles @ 10p / litre and that lasts me a week easily. However it does eat into my beer storage space a bit. :-)
They were already fitted but they are better than just the standard locks. If someone wants to get in they will but I don’t know if I would have additional locks fitted, Jules prefers them.
Karina, now I am curious, I would like to know where it is your 10/10 rated fish and chips spot. I don't have it often, actually, I don't remeber the last time I had some, but for a 10/10 I could treat myself to one for sure :)
I can only think of a 10/10 off the top of my head and that’s in Watchet near Minehead. I found a good one in Swanage that wasn’t far off. Skipton in North Yorkshire has some very good ones too. I must say when I am away I really look forward to my fish and chips. 😊 Karina
Hi guys, hope all is well? I watched a recent vlog and you mentioned about a Here We Tow members club, or something similar, for a small subscription. How do I sign up please. Thank you. Jon
Hi Jon, thank you for watching our channel. You can join by following the link in the description of this vlog for buy me a coffee. On that page it has a membership tab and explains what you get for being a member. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend, Karina and Jules
Hi, good to see you are out and about. Be careful about parking. You might find the whole vehicle needs to be within the marked boundaries of the parking bay. I am not a lawyer and cannot find anything in the Highway Code, but there is something called Contravention code 86 which shall be used for vehicles which are seen to be not parked wholly within the markings of the bay or space. No observation period will be applied. It goes on to say: For a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to be issued, at least one full wheel of the vehicle must be outside the markings of the parking space or bay. I don't know what is done if the wheels are inside but the overhang is outside. I do know of people receiving tickets because the rear overhang encroached on a path.
Hi Mike thank you and this is something i have read about too. The legal reference is in relation to the tyres being wholly in a marked bay and there is no case law about anything else. If our overhang takes two bays I think its only right to pay for two as you are taking away a parking space and revenue. Time will tell if we have to do this again and how it works. I did try to ring the council but as it was Saturday their office was closed. I think if it was mid week a call would be made. Have a good week and thank you so much for your comment on this 😊👍 Karina
Hi I am a 44 tonne truck driver, please do not as stated use the A30 to " this will get you to Exmouth " , IT WILL NOT!! you will end up going through Otter st mary , transfersing the A3052 and on the B3179, unless you are really confident and can push on , forget this advise, this is a quary route, you are sure to get a tipper truck right up your chuffer , use J30 of M5 , get onto A376, or A3052 then B3179/ Salterton on sign posts then follow Exmouth. My advise, M5 j30, off for Exmouth , right hand lane , A376 all the way in. Keep your speed up, road is good. Mostly 40mph limit to Exmouth where its single lane carrageway, road is wide enough for 2 artics so keep off the brake pedal and crack on! Motor home friendly Tesco out on Salterton Road and cheep fuel No hieght limit. If going east out of Exmouth road narrow in place's, again dont faf about, go for the gaps and crack on. Otherwise us lot are stuck behind a long line of traffic behind you. Grrrrr! Regards BasherMAN
Thanks BasherMan, thanks for that and I should have clarified I meant the A30 down to where you rejoin the M5 just above Exeter, not cutting down the B roads. Thank you for clarifying that. Thanks for the tip about the Tesco too! 😊 Karina and Jules
I fully expected the Fish to be fresh and first rate because of the location. The only real place to buy Fish and Chips is a chippy, not a pub or some tourist outlet. The problem that I have found, home or abroad is in tourist areas, you are there for the day of just one visit. The inflated prices and sometimes the quality of food are there as a quick hit to your pocket . Have you noticed that Fish allegedly sourced near to the sea varies in size an quality. One such place in Cornwall next to the sea imports from Norway, because its cheaper, while a lot of fish in the UK is exported to Spain. Ps £10 your having a laugh.
This is very true…the best ones are found in villages I find and cooked by people who have been running a chippy for years. The batter is often a make or break. Thank you for watching 😊 Karina
Court Brook Farm ! Stayed they on 2 occasions on a Friday on route to Cornwall.. great stop over but odd owners, my opinion... booked in advance the 2nd time and confirmed the price @ 17.00 for one night when I came to pay I walked to the house and the lady offered no change for my £20 note demanding 1 night not worth it so £20 was fine, clearly I provided a copy of the email on my phone 😂 change was given. And yet you have just paid £15 And the CAMC app states £17 I would have paid £20 it just the principle of it Bit odd ... nice stopover tho, we love Exmouth and Budleigh
Hi Mark, that is strange I have just rechecked my email booking and yes £15. No idea what happened with your visit but you do like to pay what you were quoted. Thanks for watching and enjoy your week 😊 Karina
I have had a few other suggestions in the area including Krispies and Greendale Farm, I will try those next time 😊 Thanks for watching, Karina and Jules
My wife and I watched your excellent video last night. Many thanks.. I've subscribed.
Thank you Paul
another great film. great that you include parking info happy travels
Thank you for watching 😊
So pleased you are keeping Fudge safe within the Mo Ho. Have to admit I was quite upset at him being in the boot. I can relax now and can enjoy your vlogs again.
Thanks Gill and enjoy your bank holiday weekend 😊 Karina
Excellent... and very informative 👌🍾
Thank you
Excellent windscreen views once again plus some bonus picture-in-picture editing! Awesome work 👏 👏👏
Thank you Toni 😊
What a beautiful part of the world.
Absolutely 😊
Good to see you getting into the MoHo life, and with Jules driving it gives a different dynamic to the content.
Thanks and it is nice to let Jules do some driving. Im looking forward to my turn but I might have a bit of a wait yet. 😊Karina
Thank you for a really informative video. Very enjoyable 👏
Thank you 😊

Thank you for watching Mark, I was hoping to visit Topsham but didn’t have the time in this visit. It is a lovely area 😊 Karina and Jules
Looks like you found some great places in a lovely area - we love Exmouth. Thanks for showing us the CL - looked good.
Thank you and enjoy your weekend 😊
Well done guys great video..Keep them coming...Stay safe and enjoy your travels...
Thanks Ray
Hi Karina and Jules, hope you are both well, I see Jules is looking more relaxed now driving the Motorhome. Hope you both have now gelled with your Motorhome, because she looks lovely.
Exmouth beach looks beautiful, ideal for walks which Jayne and I enjoy, thankyou for your great videos, and keep them coming.
Thank you David, we are loving it and are counting down to all our trips. I am hoping to get behind the wheel but Jules is making up for lost time with the towing. I have enjoyed following your trips too and hope you have a nice bank holiday weekend. Happy travels, Karina and Jules 😊
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing guys
Thank you Peter 😊
I am enjoying your trips out, I agree about Darts Farm, having visited pre Covid, not somewhere I would revisit. Budleigh Salterton is lovely, good old fashioned seaside 😊
Thanks for watching Ann 😊
Just another lovely video guys, this is getting us so excited for our first caravan! Such a pleasure to watch all the time, and we also just want to give Fudge a big cuddle. Also, can smell the lovely fish and chips from here! Keep the awesome videos and practical information coming! Tom & Janine x
Thank you Tom and Janine and if you need any advice around your first caravan do get in touch 😊 Karina and Jules
Great video with loads of good info ,look forward to the nxt one
Darren ,Maria
Thank you Darren and Maria
Local here. Thank you for visiting our lovely town :) I see people mentioning krispies as the best fish and chips (it did win an award afterall). However, Alot of locals would argue that the proper fish and chips is better and tends to have a smaller que.
It was lovely to visit, we will be back later in the year so will try a few more chip shops on my next visit 😊 Karina
Very interesting guys , we dipped into Exeter racecourse site over night , off the Santander ferry from Plymouth , a couple of years ago but never looked around. We like the look of Budleigh Salterton. Thanks for sharing
Thanks guys, I am sure you would enjoy it around south Devon 😊 Karina and Jules
Never been to this area but looks very nice. Great to see you showing how you can still get out in the Motorhome as that can be a concern. The fish and chips looked good. Thank you for the trip with you, Lou
Thanks Louise 😊 Karina and Jules
Beautiful scenery 👌
Yes, a lovely area to visit 😊
Looks like a lovely place to visit. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you Katrina 😊
Hi both, I enjoyed this video we were in the green van you passed on your way in to budleigh salteton car park.
Thank you Elizabeth and I remember your van 😊 I hope you enjoyed your weekend too, Karina and Jules
Lovely part of the country, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 😊
Great video well informed very interesting
Thank you John
Thanks once again😀. Really great presentation which we will be referring back to when we eventually get down there. All fish and chip info greatly received also appreciate cake and especially cream tea info ha ha. Read some of the comments about Fudge travelling....your response was very gracious👍🏽

Hi guys, the last video I watched was yous getting rid of the Adria caravan and moving to the dark side really enjoyed the video glad to see yous all well al need to catch up on previous content.
Ps don't won't to start a fish and chip war but there's a chippy in Oban probably the best fish and chips you'll ever have 👍
Thanks for dropping in Iain, hope you’re okay. I love Oban, haven’t been in years 😊 Karina
I love your videos, they are so clear and informative, thank you. I have to say, I am relieved that your dog no longer travels in the garage - good decision.💕. We have three dogs of differing sizes and the biggest one travels on the bed ( securely fastened, of course). Thanks again for all the trouble you go to giving us all the information.
Thank you Irene and enjoy your travels😊 Karina and Jules
@@HereWeTow Thanks, you too!
Love the area around Exmouth. Spent may happy holidays there. Best chippy is Capels. Darts Farm had lovely kippers. Glad you had nice weather as well.
Thank you 😊
Great video again Karina (and Jules), sound (microphone) much better on this one and really good to see you on a CL/CS.
Thanks Richard, I used my Rode mic throughout. We love CL and CS locations, got a few more booked during the year. Have a lovely weekend 😊 Karina
Another great video, your attention to detail is amazing, you could easily be a travel guide, actually going to exmouth in june, and took note of how busy it was for you, budleigh salterton looks very pretty might give it a visit, thankyou for the guide, good to see fudge enjoying the sun xxx
Thank you Linda, you will have a lovely time and I can certainly recommend these two places to visit and Sidmouth. Have a lovely week 😊Karina and Jules
@@HereWeTow Thankyou its not till june, but looking forward to it very much, xx
Nice video. Been to these places also. Nice coastal path walk from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton, if you have the time.
Love East Devon........ Sidmouth, Beer, Seaton, Branscombe etc.
Keep safe.
Thank you Kenneth, I am a huge fan or Simdouth and Seaton too 😊 Karina
Hi guys nice to see you
Thanks John 😊
We love Budleigh. Visited last year in the car, as Caravan parked elsewhere. Not sure we'd get our 8m Motorhome in those bays this year. My friend struggled in her transporter type. It was school holidays though.

I use to live in Dunkeswell near Honiton , use to go to Exmouth, Budliegh Salton and Seaton. Hope you enjoyed yourselves xx
Thanks Linda, it’s a lovely area, Jules has an Aunt in Sidmouth so we like to visit the area when we can. 😊
I was at Hemyock last week on hols. Now back in soaking wet Scotland 😥
Another great video and especially appreciate your comments about parking and how to find a suitable car park.
Another great CL in Devon is Ilton Castle Farm Campsite overlooking the Kingsbridge estuary. A bit of a narrow road to get there but well worth it. Has a following of people who book every year.
Thanks for the CL tip, I will take a look for another time 😊 Karina
Love your vlogs guys. They are very informative especially for those looking to park a Motorhome and need the bigger bays! The CL site looked really nice as well!

You need to come down to the wittering, lovely beaches & village, stay at Scott's caravan site, facing Isle of wight
I have just had a look Linda, that looks nice 😊
The best chippy in Exmouth or even the whole of the UK is Krispies in the town. Go for the famous battered chips. You will thank me later! :)
Someone has mentioned this Krispies and the battered chips! They sound amazing, if I go back I will pay it a visit to try them 😊Karina and Jules
Nah, the real fish and chip shop a few doors down is better and it's usually quieter.
Yes for the fish and chips if they are good don’t mind paying! And if it’s local fish wow ! We are the same with food can’t resist good food , nice to see Exmouth Next time you are Woolacoobe way try the Pelican at Barnstaple ( one for the dairy )
Cheers Gav ,Zehra and Rocky
Thanks Gavin 😊
Great vlog - thanks for sharing. Always nice to see different areas we've not been to yet - plenty of inspiration. That CL looked pretty good too?
Thanks Rob, yes it was a good little stop, there are some really good CL locations around here. Have a good bank holiday weekend, Karina and Jules

As an Exmouthian, I loved your video. Thank you 😀
Extremely interested in buying a motor home so I have one question, what does CL stand for ?
Thank you Jamie and it was lovely to visit your area. CL is a Certified Location with The Caravan and Motorhome Club. A landowner can register with the Club for permission to have a small number of pitches and through this scheme they dont have to go through planning permission for the small site. The CL is then run by the owner who takes their own bookings but you can find them listed on the Club website. I can certainly recommend motorhoming 😊 Karina
Nice one hasn't been there for years but it a really nice place to holjday
Thanks Kev 😊
How much was the parking ?
It was £3 for 3 hours but I bought two tickets due to taking two bays. A Motorhome bay was £11 for 24 hours. I hope that helps, Karina
Just a heads up for anyone visiting Exmouth, whilst the COVID testing station is in use, motorhomes are allowed two car spaces so you need only pay your £11 for overnight.
Thanks 😊👍
I live in exmouth nice place in the summer
It is a lovely place indeed, very clean and well kept. 😊
well done Fudge
I never drink the water on sites so the whole food grade hose thing is a bit of an expensive nonsense to me. I just buy a case of bottled 6 x 2 litre bottles @ 10p / litre and that lasts me a week easily. However it does eat into my beer storage space a bit. :-)
😂Yes I use bottled water for drinking too…
is there a need for additional locks on your M H
They were already fitted but they are better than just the standard locks. If someone wants to get in they will but I don’t know if I would have additional locks fitted, Jules prefers them.

@@HereWeTow thank you very much!!! There are all quite far away from me I'd better start the car 😉
😂 I hope you find some good local ones to test out 😊
Hi guys, hope all is well? I watched a recent vlog and you mentioned about a Here We Tow members club, or something similar, for a small subscription. How do I sign up please. Thank you. Jon
Hi Jon, thank you for watching our channel. You can join by following the link in the description of this vlog for buy me a coffee. On that page it has a membership tab and explains what you get for being a member. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend, Karina and Jules
Thank you both, although I’m being dim....., where is the description link please?

Thank you Karina. 👍👍
Hi, good to see you are out and about. Be careful about parking. You might find the whole vehicle needs to be within the marked boundaries of the parking bay. I am not a lawyer and cannot find anything in the Highway Code, but there is something called Contravention code 86 which shall be used for vehicles which are seen to be not parked wholly within the markings of the bay or space. No observation period will be applied. It goes on to say: For a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to be issued, at least one full wheel of the vehicle must be outside the markings of the parking space or bay. I don't know what is done if the wheels are inside but the overhang is outside. I do know of people receiving tickets because the rear overhang encroached on a path.
Hi Mike thank you and this is something i have read about too. The legal reference is in relation to the tyres being wholly in a marked bay and there is no case law about anything else. If our overhang takes two bays I think its only right to pay for two as you are taking away a parking space and revenue. Time will tell if we have to do this again and how it works. I did try to ring the council but as it was Saturday their office was closed. I think if it was mid week a call would be made. Have a good week and thank you so much for your comment on this 😊👍 Karina
How much for fish & chips!
😂
Hi I am a 44 tonne truck driver, please do not as stated use the A30 to " this will get you to Exmouth " , IT WILL NOT!! you will end up going through Otter st mary , transfersing the A3052 and on the B3179, unless you are really confident and can push on , forget this advise, this is a quary route, you are sure to get a tipper truck right up your chuffer , use J30 of M5 , get onto A376, or A3052 then B3179/ Salterton on sign posts then follow Exmouth. My advise, M5 j30, off for Exmouth , right hand lane , A376 all the way in. Keep your speed up, road is good. Mostly 40mph limit to Exmouth where its single lane carrageway, road is wide enough for 2 artics so keep off the brake pedal and crack on!
Motor home friendly Tesco out on Salterton Road and cheep fuel No hieght limit.
If going east out of Exmouth road narrow in place's, again dont faf about, go for the gaps and crack on. Otherwise us lot are stuck behind a long line of traffic behind you. Grrrrr!
Regards
BasherMAN
Thanks BasherMan, thanks for that and I should have clarified I meant the A30 down to where you rejoin the M5 just above Exeter, not cutting down the B roads. Thank you for clarifying that. Thanks for the tip about the Tesco too! 😊 Karina and Jules
Best fish and chips we’ve ever had were from Budleigh salterton
I fully expected the Fish to be fresh and first rate because of the location. The only real place to buy Fish and Chips is a chippy, not a pub or some tourist outlet. The problem that I have found, home or abroad is in tourist areas, you are there for the day of just one visit. The inflated prices and sometimes the quality of food are there as a quick hit to your pocket . Have you noticed that Fish allegedly sourced near to the sea varies in size an quality. One such place in Cornwall next to the sea imports from Norway, because its cheaper, while a lot of fish in the UK is exported to Spain. Ps £10 your having a laugh.
This is very true…the best ones are found in villages I find and cooked by people who have been running a chippy for years. The batter is often a make or break. Thank you for watching 😊 Karina
We won’t be following you around this weekend.😀 Work calls🙁
😂Jules is working until 6pm then we are off..enjoy your bank holiday 😊

Where’s the peas and curry sauce.!!!
Oh I don’t have those but Jules does, he always gets curry sauce for his chips. Thank you for watching Bernard 😊 Karina and Jules
Ooh mushy peas yes, but curry sauce is just wrong. It’s not been near a curry in its life.
@@davidmbell na mate loads of folk in Yorkshire have both as you need moisture.!!!
😂😂Jules loves it..but he isn’t a fan of chips
Court Brook Farm ! Stayed they on 2 occasions on a Friday on route to Cornwall.. great stop over but odd owners, my opinion... booked in advance the 2nd time and confirmed the price @ 17.00 for one night when I came to pay I walked to the house and the lady offered no change for my £20 note demanding 1 night not worth it so £20 was fine, clearly I provided a copy of the email on my phone 😂 change was given.
And yet you have just paid £15
And the CAMC app states £17
I would have paid £20 it just the principle of it
Bit odd ... nice stopover tho, we love Exmouth and Budleigh
Hi Mark, that is strange I have just rechecked my email booking and yes £15. No idea what happened with your visit but you do like to pay what you were quoted. Thanks for watching and enjoy your week 😊 Karina
Pronounced “bud lee” .....lol.
My Yorkshire style pronunciation usually gets some feedback 😂
We will give the £10 fish and chips a miss when in Exmouth, Welcome to rip off Britain !!!
I have had a few other suggestions in the area including Krispies and Greendale Farm, I will try those next time 😊 Thanks for watching, Karina and Jules
