Post by: BeezerDiesel on March 25, 2009, 04:54:59 pm: I flew down through Cornwall last Wednesday, me Pa's Birthday. Drove down, bought him a pasty and a pint and drove back again in time for tea.
I'll keep an eye out for you as you pass through Devon on the A30/M5 though I won't be in the Golf.

Never quite saw the attraction of surfing though, trying to balance on an ironing board whilst keeping falling into freezing cold seawater??? :laugh: Maybe if I lived in Hawaii but not the frozen UK!
Mind you some of the girls are fit so it has its upsides!

Post by: gulfstream11 on March 25, 2009, 04:59:36 pm: Cold oop here in the North sea.But never found Cornwall too cold..surfed it all year round... Got a 5mm suit n boots so that helps.
Title: Re: I,m in Cornwall.
Post by: BeezerDiesel on March 25, 2009, 05:21:48 pm: I guess if you're used to the North Sea then Cornwall is tropical!

Title: Re: I,m in Cornwall.
Post by: BeezerDiesel on April 21, 2009, 08:27:04 pm: I drove Exeter to Penzance and back last week and hardly saw any mk5s of note despite doing a fair few miles around the Penwith area where there's often a few decent veedubs.
The only half decent one I saw was whilst emerging from the bogs at Marazion I glanced at an R32, and the lady in it regarded me with the same look as she would normally reserve for something that emerges from the back of her large dog. Story of my life!!!
