SINDASOX 255 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 On the subject of travelling, feckin nightmare getting home from Ilfracombe last year on the M5. Crawling along forever and ever, thinking there must be an accident or roadworks, but nothing all the way up to Bristol. Got up to Newport and the same again crawling for ever, no reason for it though. SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we are looking in to St Ives, if you no anywhere near or any place better I'm all ears mate. Depends what your looking for? Family holiday with beaches, pretty much anywhere. Nightlife/Surfing? Newquay/St Ives. If you want to travel about, pick somewhere central, pm me if there's anything particular your looking for. Cheers, D. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 We like Doniford bay in Watchet - it's on the Bristol channel in Somerset so, it's fairly sheltered with decent weather. The beach is shit (good for fossil finding), the cider is good and, it's still out of the way but, not as far to drive. The pasties aren't as good as the ones in Cornwall but, the people in Somerset only have 5 fingers to make them with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last few times we've been down, we've stayed at Pentewan sands, on the south coast... can't recommend it enough. Stayed allover to be honest, but the good thing is wherever you anchor up... you're never too far from anywhere if a ride out in the car is your thing. Cider... pasties... beaches and if you're from the North.. more than likely better weather that what you're used to!! P.s.... the best Cornish pasties are from Salcombe in Devon!!! Used to stay at Pentewan Sands as a kid, great holidays.... Between St Austel and Mevagissey.... nice spot mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Dytkos will know the one) Big caravan/static site, club house etc. It's the opposite side of the bay from St Ives, massive long beach, sand dunes etc... St Ives is nice, gets packed in the summer (obviously) so parking, finding somewhere to eat etc is hard... nice town though, with all the normal cornish attractions...pasties, cider, fish etc.... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
