A-01.JPG	The final leg of the M5 - just after junction 30. note the cantenery lighting.
A-02.JPG	ADS for junction 31 ahead.
A-03.JPG	Over the Exe viaduct.
A-04.JPG	Gantries for junction 31 - and the end of the motorway ahead.
A-05.JPG	...in the lane for the A38.
A-06.JPG	The A30 goes off to the left - we're sticking with the A38.
A-07.JPG	The motorway comes to an end.
A-08.JPG	You don't notice an immediate difference in the quality of the road - this could easily be the M5.
A-09.JPG	Route confirmation that this is no longer the M5!
A-15.JPG.jpg	...and here we are at the bottom of Haldon hill - the second reason for the lack of a motorway.
A-14.JPG.jpg	Gantries for the split ahead.
A-13.JPG.jpg	Another Y sign
A-12.JPG.jpg	First reason for this not being a motorway - there's a lot of local junctions.
A-11.JPG.jpg	Advance warning of slow lorries and the junction ahead.
A-10.JPG.jpg	The A379 merges in...
B__03_.JPG	Here's another problem with the A38 - it has lots of side roads. Whilst none of them actually involve crossing the central reservation, the on/off slips can be very short.
B__04_.JPG	We lose our third lane at the top of the hill.
B__05_.JPG	Reaching the brow of the hill.
B__06_.JPG	With a little hatching on our right after losing the third lane, we come across one of many small service areas along the route.
B__07_.JPG	The carriageways split as we descend towards the Harcombe Bends.
B__08_.JPG	We are now about to descent on a 6% gradient.
B__09_.JPG	Probably not a place I would want to pull into a layby!
B__10_.JPG	Sharp bends ahead - although they are nowhere near as bad southbound as they are northbound.
B__11_.JPG	A 'Y' fork sign approaching Chudleigh.
B__12_.JPG	This certaintly doesn't seem like a trunk dual carriageway. Apologies for the windscreen wiper - as you might be able to guess it was raining.
B__13_.JPG	A floppy sign approaching the B3344, and another service area.
B__14_.JPG	The road then gradually climbs. Note the low bridge sign over the left hand lane - obviously design specs for this road were quite low.
B__15_.JPG	The other design of bridge we encounter along the route.
B__16_.JPG	We start to descend again - see a theme forming here?
B__17_.JPG	Approaching Chudleigh Knighton, and the B3344 again. The B3344 is basically the old A38 at the moment.
B__18_.JPG	More sharp bends.
B__19_.JPG	Blind bends at that - not a road for doing more than 70mph!
B__20_.JPG	The split for Chudleigh Knighton - still going round!
B__21_.JPG	Passing through the junction. 
B__22_.JPG	The road straightens out for once!
B__23_.JPG	Another low bridge.
B__24_.JPG	More twisting and turning.
B__25_.JPG	Note the wide verge to our left which we see a lot heading southbound. This is for a better sightline rather than future widening.
B__26_.JPG	Half a mile from the A382 with an unusual fork sign.
B__27_.JPG	Local destinations.
B__28_.JPG	The side road leaves, and we approach the split.
B__00_.JPG	On a cloudier day, we can see the A380 going off to the left at a very steep gradient, whilst the A38 bears off to the right.
B__01_.JPG	We regain our third lane, as the A380 from Torbay passes over us.
B__02_.JPG	Despite being a nice, wide D3, with plenty of room for a hard shoulder, the road here is extremely steep for a dual carriageway - I was strugging to do 40! Haldon Hill is simply way too steep to be of motorway standard.
C__00_.JPG	Same location on a far sunnier day approaching the A382.
C__01_.JPG	The slip road diverges.
C__02_.JPG	Route confirmation sign saying we're 25 miles from Plymouth. Trago Mills is on our left.
C__03_.JPG	Quite a quiet day.
C__04_.JPG	That's Bickington church ahead of us.
C__05_.JPG	Not a cloud in the sky.
C__06_.JPG	The bridge for the A383 junction can be seen ahead.
C__07_.JPG	The A383 now merges in on our left.
C__08_.JPG	Approaching a side road for Farlacombe.
C__09_.JPG	Through some woods.
C__10_.JPG	Approaching Ashburton.
C__11_.JPG	The first junction for Ashburton ahead.
C__12_.JPG	The merge after the junction.
C__13_.JPG	A slippery bypass following recent resurfacing works.
C__14_.JPG	Half a mile from the second Ashburton junction.
C__15_.JPG	Some of the local and tourist destinations.
C__16_.JPG	The diverge for the junction...
C__17_.JPG	...and the merge the other side.
C__18_.JPG	The exit for Buckfastleigh coming up.
D__01_.JPG	Worlds worst diverge sign?
C__19_.JPG	2/3 mile to the A384.
C__20_.JPG	Around the bend - no sign of the junction yet...
C__21_.JPG	...here it is!
E__2_.JPG	Round the gentle bend.
E__3_.JPG	Good views here.
E__4_.JPG	A park and (train) ride into Plymouth from Ivybridge.
E__5_.JPG	Merge in from South Brent.
E__6_.JPG	The major destinations of Ermington and Yealmpton can be found by leaving here.
E__7_.JPG	...and the diverge.
D__10_.JPG	Quite a tired looking bridge.
D__11_.JPG	3/4 mile to the A385. The A385 itself is so bad that sitting in traffic on the A380 is a better option...
D__12_.JPG	Still a while until the junction.
D__13_.JPG	There you go!
E__01_.JPG	Now we have speed cameras - just as the quality of the road improves again!
D__2_.JPG	22 miles to Plymouth. You'd never guess by the empty road that this is a Summer Saturday!
D__3_.JPG	Reason? Well, this was around midday, so everyone going home was already on the M5, and everyone coming here hadn't got this far yet! Genius!
D__4_.JPG	Half a mile to Lower Dean.
D__5_.JPG	The Lower Dean sliproad.
D__6_.JPG	...and a cyclist from Lower Dean. I would like to see them banned from the A38 - have them on a parallel cycle path instead. You do see then a fair bit on here.
D__7_.JPG	Dead straight road.
D__8_.JPG	First cyclists, now pedestrians. There's even driveways on here!
D__9_.JPG	One on the left now - though you can only tell because the the 'turn left' sign.
