Spent the weekend in Lynton, North Devon.
Their scarecrow festival is on, and this was my favourite:
It was quite close to "Pyrex of the Caribbean", but I couldn't get far enough up the road to get a good shot.
Standing outside the Rising Sun pub in Lynmouth for their raft race on the Saturday (which was won by Dad's Army - but allegedly they cheated by having a dinghy under their raft) we got extensively water and flour bombed - perhaps because we were standing with Ally, who is usually in one of the pub teams - I told Terry that it wasn't a good idea to wear all black. And I haven't tackled Bob's shirt and jeans yet - they could practically stand up on their own
. I don't think Ally's lager tasted too good either - at least Bob and I were drinking cloudy cider 
- and I'd been sensible (?) enough to wear very pale colours!
A couple of the shots of the teams on the way out to the buoy, and the way back:
And finally, although they didn't win they made me smile - taken just before they were towed up the slipway. They seemed quite surprised that their jeep wouldn't start!
Wonder what the lads will think of this kind of racing??
