Woooo!! we finally make it to Cornwall on our second attempt! (last attempt we made it from snodland, Kent to Guildford. Only 60 miles...) Setting off to Cornwall hoping that we wont have to see a AA van at any point... Travelling to Yeovil in the beautiful sunny weather... Stopped at Fleet services, with smoke pouring out the back, thanks to a fellow v-dubber who said that it was burning oil and it would be fine to carry on.. Stopped off at the New Forest for a bacon sandwich and a cuppa tea... Stopped and stayed half way in Yeovil behind a pub... After another rainy journey and a few problems later we made it into Cornwall... AND THE RAIN CONTINUED.... Saturday was my nieces wedding and the van was used as the wedding car... Went to Cornwall's VW Jamboree... Monday we went to Newlyn Fish Festival and enjoyed the Cornish Worsels but with NO CIDER THIS YEAR!! WHERE WAS THE BAR??? Popped to St Michaels Mount on our travels back from the fish festival... DOES THIS PHOTO REMIND ANYONE OF THE CHEESE STRING ADVERT????? mmmmmm..... pasties... Next day went fishing at the caravan park we were staying at... (CALM BEFORE THE STORM...MY DAUGHTER CAUGHT A VERY BIG FISH!!) HER BROTHER.... We spent 2 hours at Newquay hospital to have the hook removed!! EWWWW!!!!! Sunsets in the evenings... Crabbing at sunny corner.../> Starter Motor got a bit stuck!! WOOOPPPSS!!! cured by a hit of a hammer Our favourite place...Malpas... Many years of holidays have been spent by this river... The Sat Nav decided to take us on the scenic route... ...AND THE LANES GOT NARROWER.... Perranporth... Watergate Bay... ANOTHER PASTY!!! at Portreath...

Brilliant - loved the pictures! Our sat nav did the same with us and took us up the single file country lanes for tractors, we ended up switching the sat nav off and sticking to the B roads even if it meant taking longer to get from A to B! I want a Cornish pasty right now...
