ideally stereotypical and everyone hates them for sure. The pubs are
distantly unfriendly to tourists (locals are welcomed) and the proprieters
glare at you as though you come from outer space. The panorama is nothing,
not a patch, on the scale of Snowdonia or most of beautiful Scotland. *Its
overrun with with hikers and cars because the region isn't THAT large. Over

like a crappy roadside disgustingly fatty burger trailer with overpriced
teas except in central Exeter but then I expect thats how it should be.To
cap it all you have Will Hand head local chief in command senior water
dowser and Meteorological Self Healer, Paul Dawlish from the rabbit Warren,
his sidekick, Dave Naylor t'other side of the Moor often cannot be found,
Nick 'the Otter' Gardner always building a damn for himself
