Shaugh Prior
So... I found a really pretty photo and drove to Devon to find the place. I got lost, and ended up driving up and down super skinny country lanes in a new camper (AKA Fred). By the time I found the car park, I was tired, and very stressed, so really not in the right mood for hiking all over the woods looking for the spot. I did try, but I was fairly unsuccessful.
Instead I decided to climb and jump over boulders, and wade thru shin deep water to sit in the middle of the river to capture this shot... Cos that's what you do right?! After I took the shots I wasn't impressed with what I saw and gave up.
After sleep, and proper rest and de stress, I found the photos looked like this... And now am desperate to go back! If it looks like this when I am not trying what would it look like when I am?!π― Just to rub my nose in it though, as I left for home the sat nav found me properly, and I drove through sensible Fred sized roads out.
To my complete and utter SHOCK, however, I recognised the name of the village right on top of this area. Shaugh Prior. Between my birth, and my brothers 18 months later, my parents moved here...and I still cannot reconsile the fact that I haven't actually ONLY ever lived in towns all my life... My life from 1 to about 4 was actually in this stunning place... I can't believe it!!! π
