DodgyRog Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 :)Just a quick heads up on the Lands End idea. Buster do you relise its 130 miles if we go the direct route down the A30. If we zigzag our way down to stay of the A30 we will be looking between 4 and 5 hours traveling with a couple of short stops as we pick people up. The A30 is a crap piece of tarmac, but it's a long trip to be zigzaging :(Sorry no downer meant:( Maybe I should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooomooonnn you know you will enjoy it Thats what I was trying to say, this trip is going to be Alot longer than the last. It's going to be more like 400 miles on caravan covered roads, I deliver in the depths of Cornwall ( if I have P***ED OFF the boss ) and its further down to Lands End than most people relise. I can drive to Heathrow in the lorry quicker than I can Penzance and Lands End is another 20 mins ( if the road is clear ). :dI am not saying I wont attend, just wanted to point out the distance involved, as alot of people have said they haven't been to Lands End before:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Personally I think the idea of going the other way and ending up at Weymouth is a far better idea. Then I can come along and meet you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 right sorry i couldnt get near my pc yesterday:rolleyes: hear the route start at exeter survices down the a30 to okehamton then to tavistock to liskard a38 to bobmin down a30 turn left to truo keep on a39 to penryn a394 past helston to penzance then right on down to lands end for some well desurved food:yum: and photo shoot lol how that sound is it to long:thumbs: help wanted! sounds ok to me. just sort out some short stops on main route,to allow people off the beaten track to join up. it may seem along trip for some,but it would'nt be any difference for those who live in penzance/falmouth/truro going on the last meet, besides traffic will be less manic the weekends compared to the hectic working week day.

Thats my view too tbh. Last time we also spent about 5-6 hours driving out of the 9 hours we were on the road. Buster, let's have a show of interest and go from there what you think?? 1) Anja and Paul (yes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I may be biased as i live in st austell and its been a while since i have been down to landsend but it is a very nice part of cornwall. I also agree with the people from further up as its quite a trek from exeter etc.Unfortunately this will always be a problem in the south west as its long and thin so everyone is spread out.Maybe we could alternate the venues between devon and cornwall and put the routes to a vote.

Same here as I said before we down this end just like you. We be happy to go into the Devon direction perhaps next time?? I would quite like to see Landsend as I have never ventured that way.
