Going to cornwall

  1. Hi traveling to Cornwall on friday, from suffolk, if we were to have a problem or a breakdown is there any garages or local people we might call on for help please, just nice to have a few contacts if we get stuck, in the rac but knowledge is key and not all garages like to work on our lovely campers. Also any nice places to stop on route or areas for a bit of wild camping once there, thanks Lynne & Gary
