Hi my name is Dawn and I would love to tag along as im a single traveller im allso heading to cornwall im struggling with Internet at the moment here's my no can you message me 07746136772

Hi Tom and family. You don't say when you intend to start your journey but I wish you all luck. It will be VERY busy down that way during July / August, much to do and see. If it all gets a bit hecktic then we live in Somerset, just outside England's smallest city of Wells, with much to do in the area.....Cheddar gorge and caves, Weston Super Mare with miles of sand, Street shopping outlet, Somerset Levels for flat cycling, Glastonbury with it's Tor and different was of life, Wells City with the Bishops Palace and wonderful Cathedral. Plenty of campsites at various prices, don't know of any free overnight parking but you could chat up Micheal Evis, he has a few fields and is only just down the road in Pilton!! ( bring yer wellies!!) Enjoy yourselves, wherever you go.

Ok Dawn, will do.

Hi Old Soldier, yes it will be a little busy but when you have kids at school like I do, everywhere is busy when we can go away!
I know Wells, my dad has a friend who lives there and my wifes cousin is the manager at the travis perkins in Wells.
I also know Devon and especially Cornwall well, we go to Cornwall at least 3 times a year for at least a week as I have good friends down there.

We might visit Glasto tour en route because we are also going to Tintagel, so that will tie in well for the kids later on. (even if we did go to an island in France that they claim is the true isle of Avalon!)

As for the free parking, that doesn't really worry us, we are just as happy in a layby for the night as we are on a site etc. I might stay in a club motorhome pub stop near Bridgewater one night anyway but I also know a few spots that I have used before.

We starting this Sunday (24th July) and I have at least until the 22nd of August free but the way a new work contract is panning out, I might have until the 29th!

Hi Tom. Sounds like you know where you are going. Our kids flew the nest many moons ago and we tend to do our travelling in school term times, partly because it's cheaper but also because I worked at Wells Cathedral School for many years as Facilities Manager. My really busy times were in School holidays, which was fortunate for us.
Have a good trip, stay safe and enjoy yourselves.

We are in Flaxpool. If you are stuck for a night's parking let me know and we can direct you to a nice spot. I am sure the Blue Ball at Triscombe would let you park up there if you asked.
Have a good trip!
Max

Thanks Max, I will bare it in mind, not exactly sure of where and when we will be yet as we are playing it by ear!

I'm back!

Sorry I have not been on here but Club Motorhome just simply doesn't want to work on my android phone, so much so I gave up with it!
So I couldn't come on to get your number Dawn or come on to update the thread.

We had a great time but came back a few days early because the kids wanted to.

Me again with a short overview of our trip.

It ended up being 3 weeks away, not the original 4 weeks, with 700 miles covered in total.

The costs were

£160 Diesel.
Site fees £24 (we had 1 night only on a site)
Overnight Parking fees £57
Daytime parking fees £55.60
Food out and entrance fees £200

Total spent £496.60 for the 4 of us for 3 weeks away. (cheaper than the Portsmouth to Caen ferry we originally had booked!)

I have not included food bought from supermarkets because obviously we would be buying it anyway, even at home!

I will be writing a blog on the trip soon, in which you will all be able to read the details on how we did things and what we did.
So please keep an eye out for it!

Hi Tom
