Holiday home burning?
If you get called an "emmit" it isn't polite (means parasite apparently). Just like wales in the good old days.

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.

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
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

Parking in Cornwall isnt a problem at this time of the year, roads are fairly empty as well.
Been there at the end of Oct, and its dead, with most places shut for the winter.
A bit of peace and quiet for the locals... must be lovely.

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.

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
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Top tip!
Come and do some gift shopping (plenty of locally made jewellery) at my place - well, it is nearly Christmas. Usual LCB discount will apply.
Further west are plenty of prehistoric stone doodahs - think Stonehenge on a tight budget and a visit to these can be tied in with a drive along one
of the UKs best roads (as already mentioned)
