Wee week holidays - South of England

[husoi]

Finally managed to make the bookings for the camping sites and got somewhere to leave the dumb ass cat

Leaving Sat early (no later than 5am) via the A1 to King's Lynn camping site.

Staying there for 1 night and Sun will complete the trip to Porthtowan camping site where we will set base until Friday.

Planning to go for a few trip day around Cornwall, away from the damn midges 

Returning Friday late morning, staying over night somewhere in west midlands (depending on arrival time).

Hopefully will find a hotel for the final night before making the rest of the trip back home on Sat.

 

Will be posting pics if I can be bothered

So, was looking for things to do in Cornwall for the week.

A few things come up on the search like:

Pendennis castle,

Trebah (apparently some gardens)

St. Michael's mount

Are these people out of their minds?????

The cheapest ticket is £12.5 to go around looking at a very old large house built by people long dead. 

The mount you either walk for 50 miles to get there in a short few hours low tide window or you spend £2.50pp on a boat plus the £24pp ticket to go walking around.

 

At the end would spend around £200 just to visit old falling apart buildings 

Better ride around on the bike and eat in nice restaurants instead.

Agree See the sights avoid the tourist traps. I have a map of worthy greasy spoons if you want..

 

Davistoe airport worth some photos you can ride on runway (it’s not smooth for play).

 

Park at Senenen Cove 30 minute walk to lands end then it’s free to see.

 

the coast road from senenen to st Ives I have marked as great road then most of that north coast from minehead is.

 

Think you have to pay to see milkanak theatre, even when there’s no show but that might just be parking.

 

Double your riding times on small roads the lanes can be gravelly and challenging.

 

Capt jaspers in Plymouth worth a stop and you should ride Plymouth Hoe.

Looe, Charlestown not been to Newquay for years but it’s probably worth a ride through, a diversion over the moors is worthy riding.

 

Watch the weather it can be different on north and south coasts.

Here we are in King's Lynn camping site.

Really nice, not expensive and clean.

Bloody cold anyway

Is there a clubhouse ... hopefully you'll make friend's with someone who'll let you and your good lady sleep in their nice warm caravan ...

 

 

 

 

or just get soaked and freeze your nuts off in your tent

I thought it was just you that went to those types of places where you throw all your keys in a bowl

Last camping site in Porthtowan nice place to spend the night with the rain banging on the tent
Torrential rain from since entering the M5 all the way to 10 miles away from the site.
Wet to the bones.
Monday morning, a couple of showers but strong wind dries everything quickly
Very happy with the trailer, threshold speed is 85 after that the risk of fish tailing is substantial. Below that is great.

My new pal
Robin the biker.
Earlier was standing on the seat

Last day on Cornwall, tomorrow morning will be settling out back home.
Change of plans, probably will be a 3 day trip instead of 2.
Depending on weather will decide before leaving if east or west route.

Going to be nice this weekend, unusual for a UK bank holiday.

Did you go to the shipwreck museum at Charleston? I found it interesting, Mrs Mickly said it was just a load of rusty metal in cabinets !
