Fingle Woods? About 8 mile east of Exeter. Not sure what it would be like in autumn, but we stayed near there in August. River Teign runs through it. Imagine it would look fantastic in October.

I bought a Panasonic gx7 in September. At the time they had a double cash back offer. They were slow sending the cheque through, however after I sent them a couple of emails and they forwarded the cheque through soon after. They were very apologetic and explained the delay was because they...

Thanks for the tip off. Just for info if you go into a Currys Digital, they are showing at full price , so you will have to ask for the offer price. I thought the offer had finished and queried the price and got mine for 35 quid.
