Nether Exe Cursus submitted by AngieLake : View from top of bus towards area of cursus, taken when approaching Rewe, while heading south towards Exeter from Tiverton, approx 5pm yesterday (14th). Have done my best to make this clearer! [Sorry about state of this shot, but maybe better something than nothing?] (Vote or comment on this photo)

Nether Exe Cursus
Nether Exe Cursus submitted by AngieLake : Nether Exe Cursus area nr Rewe, viewed from top of bus yesterday late pm. Though this shot is rather lop-sided (sorry!), it was the clearer one of four taken. Bus trip Exeter to Tiverton and back is good if you enjoy countryside views; the fertile Exe valley looks lovely in the sunshine. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Nether Exe Cursus submitted by AngieLake : The second view of the cursus area taken from top of bus late pm yesterday. (South-bound Tiverton to Exeter bus approaching Rewe, taken into the sun, so sorry about state of it. Tried to make it clearer.) The Exe valley is very fertile and here and, if you like country views, the bus ride up and back to Tiverton is lovely on a sunny day.
