SSSusan:
Oh dear.  Does this mean that the lovely-sounding Wookey Hole... 
er... really IS a hole? aka, a cave?  I'm so not into caves 
either.  ::shudder::  Let's scratch that one, shall we? 


Geoff:

SSSusan:
This reminds me that I forgot to reply to one of Goddlefrood's 
suggestions:  Bath.  At this point, that's the big undecided:  do we 
head slightly south to Exeter to see that Cathedral or take a side 
excursion to Bath to see the cool crescents and Roman baths or 
dispense with both and return to London for more exploration there?  
Ah, decisions!

SSSusan:
Thank you!  I like being equipped with specific route numbers.  

And for any of you out there who haven't yet done so, I can 
unequivocally recommend visiting Geoff's website.  I've perused his 
photos in the "Aspects of Exmoor" segment many, many times!
