Well, this year due the current Monetary climate there was no jetting off to some Mediterranean beach or some far flung adventure. Some of my friends are in the state of worry over their jobs or just simply could not afford it this year….me included. So, we decided that we’d go down south to Cornwall and do the camping thing. It’s always a laugh and if the weather is right then you just cannot beat it. Well, we booked into a site a few months before because a good site can get booked up very fast. We didn’t fancy getting down there and ending up in some cow field being chased by some angry bull coz he thought we’d be butting in on his chicks-er-aherm. Me mate Skel booked it and left it at that. The site sounded great. It wasn’t until nearer the time that we found out the site was in fact an 18-30’s camp site and with looking it up on youtube we found that teenagers videoed themselves rallying about the camp site until the early hours with music blasting out. Gah…then the next problem was the weather. Rain. It gave out buckets of the stuff to fall that week. DARN IT! So, we needed a back up plan and we found one. Was really lucky and managed to get a 8 berth static trailer van right in the Centre of Newquay. We went for it. Lol! The weather was off and on all week. Had a few good days but even on the poor days we found stuff to do. Did some surfing (I stood up once too~wooot me!), went to lands end and watched a huge firework display. Went to St Ives and had a clotted cream ice cream and Cornish pasty. Did a Cyder farm (and for those of you that are wondering, this is alcoholic proper Scrumpy you can see from the website here-http://www.thecornishcyderfarm.co.uk/ ). We were about battered that day. Ya have to try the free samples. OMG! They did it all, wine, mead and the apple and pear Cyder. Visited a place called Perranporth and drank at the Aussie beach shack. They had a battle of the bands on which was really good. Did a BBQ one night and on one rainy day even went to the movies to see a right lads movie~Transformers 2. Nuff said about Megan Fox. Lol The pictures above from the top left and centre are of Chapel Port. They used to mine tin there. Bottom left is Minehead which is in Somerset . Top right was the beach at PerranPorth-it’s known for it’s surfing. Bottom right is St Ives which is very picturesque. And centre right…BBQ TIME! Next year…we are going abroad for some sun…I can tell you. Plus, can you imagine the smells of 6 blokes in a caravan over a week? ;-))
