So terry no!
The route I'm thinking of is:
A361(mid devon link) to tiverton,at roundabout take A396 Bampton, at the exeter inn roundabout take first exit signposted minehead (A396) follow this road till the black cat garage junction, go straight ahead,follow this road all the way to weddon cross,where the first stop will be at the rest & b'thankful which is on the left !(if enough room in car park)!
Go out of car park on to dunkery beacon where we wind up to the top of exmoor (loads of layby's to wait)! Follow road down to horner where if we need to take a photo there is a decentcar park for us! If not follow road to porlock,where we get onto the A39,up porlock hill,loads of layby's,stop at the blue ball countisbury hill ,carry on the A39 all the way to barnstaple,then the great A377 to exeter, anymore stops enroute just post up!
