    I don't know who you are pilgrim, but I like this video. Ghostly feelings as you travel me back from Barnstaple to my birthplace of Northam. Living now in Apollo Bay, Victoria Australia for the past 36 years. Much obliged!

    Brilliant ride along some very narrow and twisting Devon roads and through beautiful riverside villages. A real relaxing treat!

    Excellent. And, in fact, a great piece of history, which will become increasingly interesting in the years to come.

    Thanks, great memories of where I was born in Braunton. Left in 1960, now living in Perth, West Australia. Cheers.

    21A is a unique bus route - it connects 3 harbours - Ilfracombe, Bideford, Appledore; 3 beaches - Wildersmouth, Instow, Westward Ho! 3 towns Ilfracombe , Barnstaple, Bideford; a gaggle of urban areas Braunton, Fremington, East the Water, Northam...best free day out for a silver twirler ...I do the round trip at least 2x per year.

    From Keith Jones drummer North Devon now retired to Cornwall. Travelled along these roads in group vans and cars from doing many many gigs over the years with lots of different musicians. A lot of late cold nights but always enjoyed the playing - off the road now and retired to Cornwall no more late nights. Still play drums but only in my home. But a blessed gigging time from the l960's -2012. There is a season for everything. God Bless (K.J.) Psalm 23. Google You Tube Keith Jones drum solo North Devon, filmed in the l980's.
