2 Journeys Barnstaple to Bristol Airport

I needed to travel from Barnstaple to Bristol Airport but found getting to Bristol Airport by public transport not easy and Bristol Airport car parking expensive so I researched other ways of getting to Bristol Airport.
I eventually decided to travel by car to Weston Super Mare and then the Weston Flyer coach to Bristol Airport.
The route was so easy and cheap that I put the details on this webpage (Journey 1) so that others may find it useful.
Journey 1 Now UPDATED with details of the NEW Bristol Airport Bus Station.

I have recently found another journey from Barnstaple to Bristol Airport via Cullompton with Megabus Falcon.
