Friday 2nd October
Had a long weekend away visiting Exeter.
Took a leisurely trip down to stay at the Exeter Racecourse site. Called into the Angel at Heytesbury for lunch and both had the calves liver with bacon, caramelised onions and red cabbage. We had different desserts - fruit crumble cheesecake and banoffie pie, though Tina's eyes were bigger than her belly as the banoffie pie was immense and she hardly made any in-roads. Fortunately the provided a doggy bag and she took it for later.
Sat nav had a bit of a 'brain fade' when we were about a mile from the site and took us the wrong way and then wanted us top make a u-turn through the central reservation of a dual carriageway - sacre bleu!!
Had to revert to Doug nav and took the back roads and guessed our way back as the sat nav couldn't get a fix on our location. Needless to say we managed to find our way to the site and booked in.
The surroundings seemed nice: in the middle of the race course with woods all around, but the pitches were a bit sparse either a patch of grass or a hard standing and whilst quite large there was nothing to separate them from each other.
Had a relaxing afternoon and evening; read the papers and watched Pride and Prejudice (BBC version).
