Yikes!! we are off to St Ives early next month I hope its gone by then

The Scooby (White) Tip of the Day - stay on the land - hehehehe - roobyroo!

and some repair patches for a kayak! That would make you paddle faster

Olive, we were in St. Ives just over a week ago in bessy (camping at Gwithian), no sign of the white tip shark however check out the interactive white balloon feature in the Tate whilst your there...entertaining to say the least (especially if any young ones with you).

regards,

eddy

Hi Eddy, the Tate is always on for us also I still cant get enough of Barbara Hepworths house and garden, we stay at Penderleath which is just outside St Ives but get the little hopper bus into the town or use the bikes. cant wait.

Cheers

I can remember hiding behind the sofa watching that as a kid but still wanting to peer round the corner!!

We are sure you will be fine Olive
But if you are in the water and you here . . . durnam, pause, durnam, pause, durnam
We suggest you get out quick
The other thing to do is have fun by the Bay not in the Bay
No Worries

Did anyone see the news re a guy was eaten by a shark in France recently?

i'm waiting for the punchline from some bright shark on this one!

C'est la vie....!

Hi all, we're off to St Ives in a few weeks, hope we don't run into the rouge shark! We have been to Cornwall many times but this is the debut holiday in the camper., can't wait! We're staying at Ayr camp site, anyone been there before? Also does anyone know of beach in Cornwall where we can actually drive the camper down onto the sand....or is that a really bad idea? haha

We will be in St Ives on the 13th/17th July. Never stayed @ Ayr but I believe it is very good and its very close to the town and beaches. The only beach in St Ives you can get onto is down the sloop @ Harbour Beach but wouldnt do it myself.

Hi Olive, thanks for that. We're going down on the 23rd July for a week. Having visited St Ives before, I know that it would be difficult to drive on the beach there, but there must be somewhere in Cornwall where we could do this? Maybe I'm just romanticising about watching the sun go down, snuggled up in the camper having a nice chilled glass of vino! Anyway, hope you have a great time!

Hi Valentine29
See the thread Easter Weekend in Past Meet Ups
If you can make it to Brean (perhaps on the way back) you can safely go on the beach there
Enjoy your trip and take lots of picks

Oh wow! What a great photo of your camper right on the beach! I'll have to check out Brean, exciting! Thanks.

Our trip included the following sites - we think that was all - seems a while ago
Wish we were going there again this weekend!
