that's the sort of scene I'd expect on the A465 highest point (1465ft ASL) 'round here not Devon

Lovely people we've been doing this for, cooked breakfast yesterday and made another today as it was cold snowy and wet. Grd gone to s**t literally overnight

Call me miserable but I hate nothing more than going into customers houses to eat..
I always decline a brew after one made me a ‘Indian’ style tea which was boiled milk with a tea bag dipped in it.. and another put a spoonful of salt in rather than sugar! Mustn’t of liked me that much

Our garden at the minute. But we are at 1450ft. Dunno what the rest of Devon is getting

I agree. I always run self sufficient with coffee in a flask. That way I can drink when I want not waiting for customer to offer only to come out with a substandard brew half an hour later.

Here only 8 miles from coast its not too bad,Only 400 foot. but 5 miles inland it is carnage , every road from here to Okehampton is blocked with stuck vehicles, and A30 is closed.

Will clear soon. Its not cold enough to stick around for long.

I'm a bit the same, self sufficient brew wise - if I'm on my own I don't stop to eat more often than not nice to get offered a cup ot tea though, it's the thought that counts.

We are not that far away as the crow flies I guess, we are 63m above sea level apparently.

I'm amazed anywhere in Devon is that far ASL ?

 

[Stroppymonkey]

Don't forget we have Dartmoor. That is just over 2000ft ASL at its highest.

 

[Storrsy]

Highest point is 2039ft and as the crow flies only 8 miles from me.
But yeah village I live in I think is top 5 highest villages in England I believe

Someone told me once that some of the farmhouse/steads on Dartmoor are some of the highest in the country. Because whilst there are much higher peaks up north most of the farms are actually in the valleys as opposed to right on the top as we have here.

Also one of the few places in England where it's possible to get 4 miles as the crow flies from the nearest road.

Furthest point in Wales from a road is a paltry 3.5 miles
