Highlight



How could I possibly not mention this? At the top of a very, very steep climb up from Wells to the Mendips on NCN 3 is a little village called Priddy. In said little village is the Queen Victoria Inn, where the world's best chicken and bacon sandwich (front) may be purchased, complete with a pint of Cheddar Valley to wash it down. In the background is Anna's Stilton and red onion tart.

It's worth doing NCN 3 just for that.

Hm, just been reading the iPhone coverage. Maybe get one (to use as a modem on the boat, in particular) when 3G comes along. EDGE may not be that bad, but I suspect their "north of 30%" coverage probably doesn't extend much north of Watford yet.

You'd be better off with a data card if your laptop can take one, especially as the iPhone doesn't act as a modem. It shouldn't be a hard app for somebody to write though.

Oh, it's been done - do a Google for "tether iphone" or "iphone modem socks". I've been wondering about a data card, but would rather have one phone (and one phone bill) than two. The machine on the boat is a desktop (G5) anyway. :)

The New Inns (just round the corner) is much better ! All the food is locally sourced and the chef is excellent.
