Cornwall deep South West

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Cornwall deep South West

Post by Rebiam » Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:49 pm

Hi all - well last week we spent the half term week in Sunny Cornwall - just a few pics. Hope you enjoy!

We stayed in St Just and explored locally from there. Not too much driving as the weather was made for walking - cold and crisp but nearly wall to wall beautiful sunshine

First a day out to St Ives along the coast road

we spent some time at Trengwainton (National Trust) Gardens

We had a very windy afternoon on the beaches at Gwithian and Godrevy

with a lovely sunset

A trip to the Minack cliff theatre

Glad you all had such a lovely time here, we need reminding now and then by pics and comments like yours, how fortunate we are to live here. Come back soon and keep a look out for "Victor Meldrew" driving a white tin top, give him a wave.

Lovely set of photos. We are off there in a week but without Bongo as it hasn't arrived yet. Did you sleep in it or stay elsewhere?

This time we used the Bongo as a day van as we were staying with relatives so used all 8 seats every day. When its just the 4 of us we take out the rear bench seat to make some space for cooking etc and off we go.
