Seriously though, there aren't really any exciting museums around Devon, well not unless you're an Agatha Christie fan, in that case, Torquay is the place to visit :-) What I would like to arrange is a trip down to Goonhilly in Cornwall, I went a couple of years back when I went to Cornwall on holiday. Not sure if it's still open though, I heard rumors that it was closing. Saying that though, in our neck of the woods, we can't even get the folks in Cornwall to agree to a LUG meeting, never mind a day out!
