To anyone that didn't manage to book this one, there's a reasonable site just down the road - West Wayland, I think it's about a 5 or 10 minute walk to Camping Carradon where the meet is, there's usually a chippy van parked in the entrance & the bus runs between the two as well I think (think it's the next stop towards Looe from Carradon) - http://www.westwayland.co.uk/touring_park.html - very reasonable tariffs too, but you will probaby need your levelling blocks.
If it's still running, the car boot sale is just over the hedge on sunday morning to (never made it down there yet, don't do mornings :wink: )

The South East Cornwall Walking Festival starts on the Saturday of the BFSW if anyone is interested. There are walks organised all week so anyone staying on might be inspired to join on or more of them.

Details at http://www.visit-southeastcornwall.co.u ... al-p997433

If it's your first time in the area, have a look at http://www.visit-southeastcornwall.co.uk/ anyway!!

That's a great link Alison. Wonder if I can manage any of those? Depends on how many pubs are along the route, eh Crazy? :twisted:

The boot sale was pretty good, if I remember correctly. Have to get up early though :wink:

so annoyed we can't make it :cry: , so wanted to come, but the university of Bangor requires the attendance of a member of the family. hope we can get to it next year, when we are pimped up a bit more.
Have lots of fun everyone, and make sure everyone gets a hello. :lol:
