Devon? Cornwall?

[b16gnr]

Is there anybody else in Devon or Cornwall?

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Yes, you need to contact @Darrell O'Neill - Cornwall AO The Cornwall AO; as everyone is quite spread out, they don't tend to have a single fixed meeting place/date, but instead just organise runs etc.

Hi Dave, I have emailed Darrell but had no reply, I will try and message him through here.

Hi b16gnr,

I have recently tried to contact Darrell too, with no success, if you do manage to contact him please can you let me know?

Thanks

Julie

Hi @b16gnr

We are road tripping Devon, Cornwall then along the South coast, any advice on must do roads would be fab.

As a cornish resident I enjoy losing myself on the back roads on Bodmin moor around Colliford Lake, have a look on google earth. There is very little habitation just open moors, some with grass in the middle of the road with wandering sheep and ponies to avoid. No fast roads just peaceful open countryside undeveloped and wild. Worth an hour of your time if you are down this way and the weather is okay but it is bleak, almost intimidating, when foggy, wet and windswept.

You must go here if you are in the area.

As you like military history, go onto Porthcurno beach which is below the theatre.

a real scenic route through the centre of Dartmoor take the B3357 from Tavistock to Two bridges then the B3212 to Moretonhampstead then onwards!

Bodmin moor is on the list past Jamaica inn for good measure. Driving fast isn't out style. Will look at the lake as well. Thanks for that.

Thanks buddy, we would have missed that, I remember you told us about on our trip round Scotland.

The road across Dartmoor that @b16gnrhas mentioned is a great road. Starting in Tavistock which is a beautiful town and worth a stop up to Princetown then across the high moors to Mortenhampstead.

If you venture up to the North Cornish coast then a particular favourite of mine is Starting in Rock which is opposite side of the river from Padstow then follow the coast road to Port Isaac, Tintagel, Boscastle and then on to Bude. Each of these places is worth a visit and the road has some spectacular views with steep hills and very tight bends. The North coast is very rugged and I think much nicer than the South. Hope you have a great time and that the weather is kind. John

Hi @Kernow, We are driving most of the north coast going through Exmoor, Woolacombe, Bude then overnight in Tintagel. Then the coast again via Padstow, Porthcothan, St Ives, St Just, Porthcurno and then overnight at Mousehole and up to Mevagissey round the coast for 2 day stop so we can go the the Eden project and the Lost Gardens of Heligon. First time back since we spent 3 weeks around Cornwall in a camper van in 1990 after we got married. Yes to long I know and thanks for the advice. 

Regards

Alistair
