Any / Many Locosters In Cornwall?

a bunch of us from SKCC are doing a brekkie run down to Lands End on the 16th July, yep a daft idea given that the furthest lives in Ashford Kent!

Anyway, we're expecting to be in the Lands End area around 10.00, so if anyone fancies popping along shout out. I think 1 of the team has a plan for afterwards which involces us driving back a bit up the North Coast before we stop to take a bit of a chill before heading back home.

Not sure if Barry (Boggle) is still around on here? He might be interested.





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Ironic this post Mark, I am currently sitting in a static caravan near Padstow.

Very nice roads around here but they are very, very thin so you lot need to be careful. I know how you lot drive ( mad men like me!)!

Good luck. Thats a monster drive to get here for 10am. 5am start!??

I wont be up for that one, not unless there is a stay over planned.

well i've put an order in to the Sun Gods, because if there's any chance that it'll be wet and windy we won't be going!
Yep Wayne it's a bit off the wall i know, and possibly the next day we may regret it as we struggle to move our legs, but i do know someone who managed a shade under 800 miles in his 7 after missing his B+B stop due to dodgy sat nav directions....so its 'doable'........

Ash, don't spend too long on it, but if you do know anyone down there that fancies meeting up for brekkie etc....

If you want to stay over for a night you can all come and camp in my very large garden. Plenty of private parking as I'm on a private road. BBQ available or a pub that does OK nosh within a few mins walking distance. I just happen to live on Dartmoor with some fantastic and scenic roads too!

I'm here, actually in Cornwall, not Devon, but full blown buy-to-die Cornwall.

It'd be great to meet some real live people, so let me know when/where/etc. You're welcome to come and chat chassis stuff, poking fun at what's on the build table. You'll find me in Bude.

I went to Duckpool beach last weekend! Used to live in Bude many many years ago. I come over sometimes in the summer so maybe I could drop in some time and say hi.

SD thx for the offer of a bit of garden space, a kind thought but this time it's all about the 'there and back' ....next time however..........
will give an update a few days beforehand, in terms of where we expect to be/eaty/go afterwards........
Tony H one of our crew has been down that way a few times and i think he has a plan that involves brekkie a short throw from LE itself. And then a few gentle miles back to then stop off to chill........

be nice to see a face or two.......

don't there's 6 severly peed off folks up this end who are sulking - yep we had to call it off, it wouldhave been stupid to do it in that weather, we could see that the weather front looked as if it would settle in the west all day - if it had been a question of showers we'd have done it, but not wall to wall rain. Up here it finally stopped raining around 4pm and since has just drizzled a few times. re-scheduling for the 2nd weekend in sept after the school hols.....

well i havent dare look at the forecast given what happened last time we were due to come down and also given how poor its been up here this week.......but yes, barring a final weather check tomorrow 4 of us will make the trek. Its a pity that a few of the original crew just cant make it this Saturday - but we ended up in a situation where just about every weekend someone had something on......
so if all is well the plan remains the same, meeting 2 pals at Clacketts at 03.50, meeting the furthest 'westerner' at 05.00 at Popham and cracking on.......
same idea as before - ( ish ) hit L/End, grab brekkie wherever i said vefore 9 i'm not the planner) and then have a bit of a drive for an hour or so and a good rest before heading for home......
the sausages better be worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hoping to be at LE for 09.30 give or take 20 mins.

Well my car is ready and tucked up in her bed ready for my 3am wake the neighbours leave time. Sorry to all my neighbours but I will be as quiet as I can.

108 miles to the rallye point at Popham airfield from my house. SAT NAV says by the time I get home 714 miles.

Hope to see you at LE Mark C

I'll see you Mr G at Clackets at 3.50am Sir

Sounds like a convoy in need of a cuppa so I might be persuaded to park the bus up and make tea.....
