Cornwall 2012?
Anyone fancy another Cornwall meet?
It will probably be a new venue this year as we have bought an old cottage a mile further up the hill. We had to spend the summer renovating but I now have a shed big enough to work on the bike without having to move everything else outside and a BIG back garden.
Accomodation will be camping in the garden, although I might be able be able to squeeze a few in the house. Last year I had questions about bringing a van/landy - no problems. There is a pub 50m down the road so no shortage of  , not that there was any problem last year. They do good old fashioned pub grub, not quite as nice as the Crows Nest last year but a bit cheaper. If we have the numbers I might even be able persuade them to let us have exclusive use of the restaurant on Saturday night for a meal and presentations (any volunteers?) There is also a village shop/post office/tea room across from the pub.

I am happy to do a trail ride on Saturday again and/or there could be the opportunity of a trials course at the end of the garden, bike provided (I said it was big).
For anyone who doesn't fancy trail riding, you might want to bring a pair of boots you can walk in as we are right on the moor. If you head north the first road is close to 10 miles away, but you don't have to go far to get some fabulous views, providing the weather is clear.
So how about it? Is February OK again or would people prefer it to ba a bit later?

Last years one was great, I'd be up for coming down.
A little later in the year makes camping more pleasureable but I'm happy to action man it up.

If it's anything like the last one, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Date pending
Pending the date, I work every other Saturday, count me in, last year was fantastic. I will contact Diehard and Chef Jules and let them know.
Ted you won't make this one you will have a sore arse, poorly leg, dodgy stomach, brain tumor or a broken bike. Unless... you turn up in the Berlingo with a 10 man frame tent and cast iron woodburner

Cornwall
Hi Rossi
Chris and I would love to come - possibly on the outfit again.
As for time, either a bit earlier or a bit later would suit us as it's the Classic bike show on the 18/19th Feb and we're aiming to go to the Elefantreffen at the Nurburgring the following weekend (25th/26th).

Hi Rich
Thanks for your message - but the HUBB won't let me respond until I have 5 posts - this should be number 5!
Hope to catch up in Cornwall - and congrats on making it to Mongolia. Can't wait to hear all about it. How about doing a talk???
John and Chris.

I should be back from work by 4. With a bit of luck Mark (maddog) who lives down the hill will get away from work earlier and will get the tea brewing. We'll get a couple of signs out but it is easier to find than last year.
From north of exeter the A30 to Launceston is quickest but the last 10 miles are narrow and twisty; fun in daylight but tricky in the dark with a weak headlamp. The alternative route is via the A38 past Plymouth, turning off at Liskeard. For anyone from down west take the A38 along the Glyn Valley and turn off at the top of the hill past Trago.
Destination is Minions. Look for the brown tourist "hurlers" signs. You'll find me from the car park.
