Oh OK, I'm pleased it wasn't you left stranded. Hope you're having a great time! The weather's not being over-kind, but at least this far west the rain often goes on overhead to Bodmin. Blue skies and white clouds at the moment this morning so we could be in for a reasonable day (hope so, lots of gardening to do today...)

Will you be taking a trip over to Scilly @Stagman ? - I really do recommend it.

Yep lovely day today. We will be punished for it tomorrow though!
Nope not doing Scilly Isles. Bit difficult with a dog. Mrs looked into it but didn't fancy the crossing for her or the dog.

Leisure Centre car park at st Ives has a field at the top for overflow parking. 4 of us MHs in there this afternoon. Bus took us (& the dog) down into town and back. Parking £6 all day and bus £3.20 return for the two of us.

Mmm. I was trying to get some gardening done yesterday but rain stopped play about 1.30, by which time I was soaked

When we had the helicopter route, there was a dog-cage bolted in, it was in use almost every time I went across (had to go over regularly for work). For a single day trip now we no longer have the helicopter service I'd probably fly (Newquay or Lands End) rather than take the ferry (Penzance) - in fact I've never gone by boat, only ever flown

That's a good tip. St Ives is great if you're not trying to take a vehicle in

What does the carpark say about overnighting? - not allowed I imagine?

Yep. Cornwall Council are saying no motor caravans, caravans etc permitted between 11pm and 8am in all their car parks that we have used so far. To be fair that leaves no grey area for misunderstanding....

 

[Stagman]

Which

The car park in Tintagel was advertising £3.50 for overnight parking yesterday for MH's...cheap as chips and right in the village

Which one was that please?

 

[Big Nick]

Main one with the little wooden hut just after the shops

Ok will look out for it thanks

As a Cornwall council car park I would be surprised if this particular one allows overnight Motorhome parking. Every single Cornwall council car park we have used in the last 3 weeks (& there have been many) has clearly stated no motorhomes between 11pm and 8am. Have you overnighted here?

Caravan Club site at Tintagel "Trewethett Farm" cliff top walks both ways along the coast, Tintagel to the left, Boscastle to the right.

Excellent sunsets and views, plus cream teas, yummy.

As already said Ayr`s Holiday Park at St Ives, not the Cheapest but probably the best views along the coast in all of Cornwall, on a clear day you can see all there way up to Lundy Island.

St Ives is 7 Mins walk kicking a tin, downhill on the way there a bit of a climb uphill on the way back, you can also walk into town along the coastal path which lessens the steep hills.

Does anyone know if Padstow park and ride buses allow dogs?

Not sure if Padstow Park and Ride allow dogs but it's only a ten minute walk (downhill) into town.
