been invited down to stay with the outlaws for a week in hayle cornwall with the gf and her brother and wife and devil child

When I was down that way I entertained myself with a nice pint or two of Trinity and Doombar You could do much worse
Alcohol always works
Holiday home burning?
If you get called an "emmit" it isn't polite (means parasite apparently). Just like wales in the good old days.
Find a place to park?
great now this is sounding like fun
i took the outlaws to kos for a week and they take me to cornwall, not sounding like a fair swap so far.
I just flew mine a few thousand k for a nice two weeks at my summer place; my brother-in-law arrived with his abominable 12 year old daughter as well. I didn't get much of a holiday out of it. I don't drink, and there was no heroin or other similar substitute nearby, so it wasn't really a good time. Tempted though.
try surfing in widemouth bay
if you fancy trying your hand at bmx/ mountain biking theres a school running out of ortreath, absolutely fantastic track/ jumps and a giant pit of
foam to throw your self into
thats if your feeling energetic
Come up to Plymouth to 'The Theatre of Greens' (Home Park) and watch the proper 'Pilgrims' play!
Visit other members of this fine Forum whilst you are down there.
Then you can Froth Locost Cars all weekend. There are at least 3 or 4 that I know of down that way.
Also its nice to visit and see other people's builds

theres a big quad track/hire place just off the a30 turning to truro .
bout 2 miles from where i stayed on hols this summer . had the family with us so i didnt get chance to have go .
lots of mines to go visit !!1
There is loads of stuff to do. The beach at Hayle is huge and well worth a visit. Hayle is not the prettiest town, but St Ives is gorgeous. Great for a wandering around and taking in the scenery. There is the Tate Modern (if that flicks your switch). Further afield, there is a great indor karting place in Camborne, the Eden Project at St Austell, Newquay (which has a lot of tourist type attractions, including one of the best karting places I've ever been to, just outside Watergate Bay). You really shouldn't be bored.
Tintagel is pretty spectacular on a blustery but sunny autumn day.....
Land's end isn't very exciting (big cheesy theme park). Lizard Point is a bit more natural....
Eden project if you like plants!!!!

You could try parachuting near St Merryl , visit Ricktown (Padstow) very pleasant or try surfing at numerous beaches
St. Ives is a lovley place, go to the mexican restaurant and have the set dinner.

There is a pub 30 yards up the road that does some quite good live music.
Above all remember, only boring people get bored!
Best advice so far!
Eden project day out gets my vote as well , and if you think your getting old, do the zip wire it is nice and gentle though

I'll pick you up and we will do the Cornish Nordschleife together, I am all of 4 miles from Hayle!
St Ives if fantastic this time of year, September festival is on at the moment, restaurants are easy to book, everybody is a lot more relaxed
Where has the browse bit gone to post a pickie?
st ives - 5 a breast pushchairs vying for space , and the bloody seagulls nicking me chips .
i had a good time still .
