Cornwall (Page 1 of 3)

usually people go there to surf cos there's lots of coastline but there's all kinds of mad gardens and ruins and stuff like that there too... very strange and beautiful nature down there as well. presume it's pretty devoid of nightlife but a good place to visit for relaxation and spiritual restoration.

nice one breaker.
yeah, we should organise a weekend down there. no nightlife, just sittni by the sea, eatin fresh seafood and drinkin ciders and ales all night.

sounds brilliant.

I was thinking of going this summer with the girlfriend - haven't been back since i left college in 1997!

Trago Mills is also a weird Cornish thing indeed!

Trago Mills plane!

Trago Mills = the most weird shop and adventure world on the planet

this is apparently where my family originates from (Sennen Cove), definitely want to check it out when down there:

I can remember Bedruthen Steps very well from childhood holidays and would love to go back there too, rusty handrail and gale-force winds haha

this place looks insane as well (Heligan Gardens):

i go every year. it's not a place to go out dancing, really. it's just got a great individual vibe, not really like anywhere else in the uk. there's a few spots to go that are just unlike anything else - devil's mouth, for example, is just mental cliff drops but surrounded by lush vegetation that looks more tropical than anything else. the seas are often turquoise. if you surf, you're sorted. if you like to drink and hang around, you're sorted. stay too long and you might get bored, but it's great for recharging batteries.

there's plenty of scope for holding parties of your own - so many nooks and crannies, so many beaches, not many people about (though obviously there's more than usual in summer). it's important to stay somewhere on the coast, though, a place like redruth is just like any other mining town really. newquay is absolutely packed in the summertime, st. ives is quieter and smaller but has an art gallery or six and better pubs. always thought it strange that more parties don't happen in cornwall in the summer. it's basically england's answer to ibiza.

oh and there's the eden project if you like biodomes, radio 3, biological diversity and screaming kids queueing for hours to get an ice cream

I wasn't advocating firebombing him, just thought the article was relevant to the chat... to be honest I think if the CNLA want to throw off English shackles they have "bigger fish to fry" (boom boom!!)

Jamie Oliver on the other hand... haha

haha don't worry, just wanted to be clear where I stood having posted the article!

the only spag bol I'm really bothered about is my mum's (which is amazing btw), otherwise yes you're right, mine comes from a jar... but it's Lloyd Grossman dammit!! he's much cooler than Jamie Oliver

back to Cornwall - camping is certainly an option from my point of view, and if we can dig out an old Aerobie then I'll be up for that (as long as we don't play it near any clifftops! can just see one of us flying over the edge while attempting a catch)
