A bit late I know, but here are some pictures from the Cornwall 2010 meet.
We all met at the Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor. If you were smuggling brandy into the country from Spain or France, would you choose to hide it in the middle of a desolate moor as far from the coast as you can get where the only road is almost imoassable by a donkey? The tourists (emmets) seem to think so.
Roundhouses in Veryan. Built by the local vicar for his daughters, six in all, and round so the devil could not hide in the corners
Melinsey Mill. Cafe and a semi working water mill in a leafy setting
Merlynne, my wife
The River Fal. These ships are bulk car carriers, laid up due to the recession. All have caretaker crews, and most still have gennys running, and can be used at short notice
The ships and equipment required for the D-Day landings were assembled here, among other places on the south coast. There is a wide concrete road down to here built by the Americans so they could bring in trucks. You can see from the size of these ships how deep the water is, and they can get in and out at all states of the tide

On the King Harry Ferry heading back to the Falmouth side. If you look carefully just above the left-hand window there is a webcam. You can see that cam by searching "King Harry Ferry"

Sounds like a brilliant idea, especially South Wales .CHR15E wrote:Myself and Mr Clements have been discussing Wales in the recent past.
Though for probably a week or so.
Looks like a brilliant trip. Wouldnt mind doing this one day whether it be in Wales or not.
Great pics and great looking cars.

Re: Cornish Trip 2010
It was a holiday rather than a meet to be fair, not to say you wouldn't have been welcome as I didn't even take a Rover. I went in one of my Jeeps instead.

Re: Cornish Trip 2010
Plus, we don't get too precious about having the "right" car anyway. I went to the last Cars in the Park in a TR7 which I parked on our 800 stand.

Re: Cornish Trip 2010
That was largely due to the lack of 800s.
