Damn those pictures are enough to make a guy homesick!!
Grew up just south of Camborne not far from your Portreath shots, and boy its there a great Pasty shop there!!! (miss those too!)
You did well to get such good weather! However it sounds like you were not there around Culdrose airday yesterday..... a day that is always...ALWAYS guaranteed to be a wash out!!
Great stuff.

Re: Just a few from Cornwall
Hi Fraser,
Yes I was unable to get the week off during Culdrose so we visited the week before and am I glad we did. The weather was lovely all week. I was gutted about missing the airday but from what I can gather it would appear it was a rained off anyway. :-(
I tried out a few pasty shops down there too.![thumbs Up :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/023.gif)

Re: Just a few from Cornwall
Oh aquatic beastie, what sad tidings you bring re Shipstones, :-(
but I did say it was several years ago.
I was on record at the time, as saying it was the finest bitter I had ever tasted.
