Cambridge outing to Cornwall?

Posted on
  • Whether or not Brighton is a success over the next weekend waits to be seen yet, but I am already thinking ahead to the may bank holidays.

    In order to keep my old man (NB: not CrackFox) happy I am required to return home twice a year (there's a 3 tonne dumper involved that I want to inherit) and was planning on doing this either the bank holiday of the 1st-3rd May or 8th-10th May.

    I was planning on either
    a)getting the train down to Plymouth/St Austell and then Cycling to Praa Sands over 2 days, taking it nice and easy, with pub stops, pasties and the optional night sleeping in a cemetry/ruined tin mine
    OR
    b)getting the train to Penzance and doing 2 nice day circuits out from praa sands taking in places like St Ives, Mousehole, Newlyn, Men-an-Tol, Chysauster, Mullion, Helford, Falmouth etc...

    There is also plenty of crazy cornish stuff going on this time of the year as well....

    yes we cornish truly know how to have a good time...?

    Anyone wanna tag a long? obviously should be able to offer accomodation and board, so only really train costs, and if we book ahead it's usually no more than £50.

  • Carefull you don't end up in a wickerman

  • do they have a wall made of corn?

  • And a house made of sweets

  • so bogie, will and the others I was talking to about riding to cornwall with over the august bank holiday, this is what i'm gonna do instead now. So might be up for extending/riding for a few more days if you're keen as got to be in Copenhagen to start my course on 1st September so will be a bit too tight at end of august.

  • what you want to cycle to cornwall all the way?
