Wanted to go to this one. I just checked out the dates on the calendar and It's not in the holidays so too far to go for just two nights :( I've heard a lot of good things about this meet, so I'm sure Mary and Alison, you're going to have a great time. Mary, I'm sure we'll see you at some stage to get your cup back to you :)

Cat, it's the easy to get to part of Cornwall if you're coming from your direction. Motorway/dual carriageway almost all the way!!!

And it's the p.i.t.a. part of Cornwall if you're coming from the other end of Cornwall :wink:

Hi Alison, I checked out the trip on google. It's 5 and half hours. I wouldn't be able to leave on the Friday until after school and it's a long way to sit in the bongo with my back problems :( I would definitely do it if it was a 3 hour drive or I could go for 3 nights.

I don't know my hours on a Friday exactly yet as it's a new job so if I do happen to finish early on the Friday it may be a possibility if there's still places :)

Would like to get to this one too but same as Cat I work school term time and over 4hrs drive for me so would prefer to do more than two nights. Also I have other difficulties to think about too so unfortunately I will probably have to give this one a miss. :(

Don't know what happened to my post, but I'm booked too, Thursday to Sunday, then off to Magic for the rest of the week. Looking forward to an Indian Summer ..... [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<
