A JOURNEY TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

by GrantBoone - last update: Jan 25, 2008

GRANTS TRIP TO CORNWALL AND DEVON.

My latest adventure saw me travel a lot closer to home. A wedding invitation allowed me to explore parts of the west country I hadnt seen before. We drove down to Tintagel in Cornwall on a friday morning and checked into a B+B on the sea front. The next 5 days would see me pack in the wedding, a day surfing in Bude, avoiding by a day the floods in Boscastle and travelling to Sidmouth in Devon to stay on a farm for 2 nights...........read on!

TINTAGEL.

We started our trip from London to Cornwall in great style as our route took us right past Stonehenge! ( alas no photos this time!! ) Tintagel was our final destination on the rocky coastline of North Cornwall. Home to the legend of King Arthur , with the castle ruins perched high on the cliffs. We also travelled up the coast to the beautiful beach resort of Bude for a day trip.

OUR RETURN TO CORNWALL NOV 2007

Friends of ours invited us to stay at their farm in the Bodmin area od Cornwall
We actually stayed for 4 days in a caravan on the farm grounds.
We had a couple of day trips to the coast including a trip to Port Isaac ( pictured).
It was also the furthest I'd ever had to drive !!

 Typical weather forecast this morning - apparently we're "getting rid of the rain"! Not had a stitch up here for a few days - gotta be you southerners "suffering" - and it becomes the national forecast. Poor bunnies! How's life? Gillybob greetings

 Gr8 pics mate. I spent a week in a cottage when I was a nipper in Gunislake, remember the strawberries n` cream and steaming hot Cornish Pasties. Makes me home sick seeing your pics, I miss the sea.
