Title: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: contail on November 18, 2005, 09:09:38 PM THERES NOT A LOT HERE, WICH IS Y I LIKE IT. ITS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN B. THE ISLAND IS FAMOUSE FOR VARIOUS THINGS. BUT IT HAS A GREAT PUB ON IT. I GOT ME DRINK AND SAT OUTSIDE 1 NIGHT AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS ON ME BIKE ONLY BETTER. THE WIND WAS STRONG AND THE SOUND OF THE SEA AND WIND TOGETHER WAS LIKE SCREAMING UP THE MOTOWAY. ONLY I DONT DO IT WITH A DRINK IN MY HAND. THERES A WICKED TRACTOR THAT TAKES YOU TO THE ISLAND AND BACK. IT GOES THROUGH THE SEA WHEN TIDE IS IN. SCARY AT NIGHT. I WENT THERE FOR A DRINK AND THEN CAME HOME AND IM IN B,HAM.

Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: klogan45 on October 13, 2006, 04:23:14 PM Burgh Island....what a place!!!! have'nt been for a while but an outstanding location, the pub on the island is (or was) called The Pilchard. The walk up to the top is fairly long and hard ( but that's the way the wife likes it!!!!! ) But well worth the effort. Try watching the sunset from there with a bevvy or two AWSOME!!!!

Sounds like a place I should visit though. Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: Manky Monkey on October 13, 2006, 11:40:54 PM Is it anywhere near the Minack Theatre Bobbi?
Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: trikerpete on October 14, 2006, 10:24:02 AM Thats another place weve marked down to visit next year ;D
Is the pub still there ??? Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: BikerGran on October 14, 2006, 06:52:18 PM Is it anywhere near the Minack Theatre Bobbi? You're not too good at geography are you? Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: Manky Monkey on October 14, 2006, 07:42:41 PM Err, no. Does it show? :P
Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: BikerGran on October 14, 2006, 10:16:46 PM Burgh Island is south Devon, not far from Kingsbridge. It's about 100 miles from the Minack theatre which is near Porthcurno right down near the end of Cornwall. I spose the island could be on the way to Cornwall tho.

Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: trikerpete on October 20, 2006, 10:34:06 AM Biker Gran, Thanks for links to photos :) It looks anice place to be.
Yes Andy, it does look familiar. I wonder how the locals may cope with "hoards of trikers" invading their space :o ;D Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: Manky Monkey on October 20, 2006, 07:43:04 PM Let's find out eh?!
Title: Re: BURGH ISLAND,BIGBURY DEVON Post by: ByzMax on November 05, 2006, 02:23:48 PM Sounds Great to me ;D ;)
