UNEXPECTED DAY OUT TO BEER in Devon PECORAMA

It was 86 miles to Beer in Devon for the Royal British Legions' 90th Birthday celebrations held at PECORAMA (model train museum).  Beautiful early morning start nothing on the roads, our ride down to Devon is always wonderful the ups and downs as you near Devon mean you can see for miles around you, and being on the Harley we are just that bit taller than a car.  It was a wonderful day out, very well supported again.  Just six bikes this time, (there was a lot on this weekend with the Riders Branch)  we should have been in Cambridge on Saturday and Lincoln on Saturday afternoon/Sunday.  However circumstances change and we found our selves heading West!  The Model trains were fun and the little Railway was fantastic.  Paul and I had Earl Grey Tea and sandwiches in the old Pullman carriage, very 1940's - wonderful.  Anyway the pictures will tell the rest of the story - hope you like them:







The Rainbow Garden!


A secret door and Garden!
and Paul in the sercet garden!



At our dedication and plaque ceremony, we all rode there on the little train, through a long tunnel around the mines and waterfalls and ponds and through gardens.  Big kids playing Trains - what fun the poor little engine could hardly pull us all!


LEST WE FORGET
This plaque was unveiled
on 3rd July 2011
to commemorate
90 years of support by the
ROYAL BRITISH LEGION
to serving and retired members
of the Armed Forces and their
dependants

And finally what a wonderful view for our plaque to look out over


So if you are ever in Devon do take a look around PECORAMA - I think you will find it well worth the journey then find our plaque as you ride around on the train and remember all our lads in uniform.
