Just had a fantastic weekend Surfing (both Hilux Surfing and actual surfing) down in Croyde in North Devon. Pictures below... wetsuits aren't the most flattering clothing are they? Got lots of admiring looks though I must say - the Surf that is, not me in rubber!
Just to add my bit to the mpg debate thats going on, we got stuck in some horrendous traffic on the way down and it took us 8 hours to get there from here in SW London. Lots of driving around up and down hills whilst we were there and then a slightly less horrendous brush with traffic for 5 hours on the way back. £70 in juice for about 700 kms or 420 miles of varied motorway thrashing fully loaded and with boards on the roof and stop-start motorway crawling for anything up to 2 hours at a time. Didn't think that was too bad really.
Mind you, we did split the fuel 3 ways so I would say that wouldn't I?!!
