Early May Bank Holiday - Penpol Creek to Devoran - Sunday pm

On arrival in Devoran there were more lovely creek views to be had!

From Devoran we walked back to the campsite via Carnon Downs. This walk was the highlight of our whole weekend. We spent the rest of Sunday having lunch and just generally chilling out before heading home later that night.

On the way home to Bude the A39 was very quiet so I surprised Michael by asking to drive the camper (my first time!). She's lovely to drive but a bit too big for me. I may cope with motorway driving but don't think I'd want to attempt country roads YET!

We are all counting down the days 'til our next trip - 9 days in the Lake District with stops in the Cotswolds on the way up and back. So, the next blog update will be a bumper one!!!

Early May Bank Holiday - Carnon Mine, on Penpol Creek - Sunday am

As we headed towards Devoran we came across Carnon Mine sat alongside the creek where we took the opportunity to have a rest and give Paddy a much needed drink.

There were some lovely (large) houses dotted along the creek road with superb views across the creek....all costing a small fortune no doubt?!

We walked along the small country road towards Devoran whilst the sun was desperately trying to shine!

There was an array of small boats on the creek and plenty of bird life to be seen, including a little egret and a curlew.

Early May Bank Holiday - Walk to Penpol Creek - Sunday am

The campsite had kindly provided us with a pack of walks from the site so after bacon sarnies for breakfast on Sunday morning we put on our walking boots and followed their precise instructions towards Penpol Creek, hoping that Paddy would make the 4 or so miles (which he did - even clearing a slate stile like a professional show jumper!!!).

The bluebells were out in small patches but the promised bluebell wood wasn't quite there (we were just a week or so too early).

As we walked down the public footpaths and bridleways we were finally met by a view of Penpol Creek.

Early May Bank Holiday - Falmouth - Saturday am

Falmouth has lots of little streets to explore off the high street which all lead down to the sea.

After our picnic lunch, sat outside overlooking the harbour, we headed back to the campsite on the bus, where we spent the afternoon reading and chilling out before heading to the 'local' pub for our evening meal.

Next stop was the docks area and the newly updated part of the town that houses the National Maritime Museum, where they were working on a cruise liner amongst other vessels. Rick Stein has recently opened a new fish & chip shop here!

Early May Bank Holiday - Falmouth - Saturday am

We were up early on Saturday and as it was dry again we caught the bus from the site entrance into Falmouth for the morning. Paddy loves travelling on the bus, as they send him to sleep, and on this one he had his own 'Doggie Day Rider' ticket!!!

Half hour later we were dropped off on the outskirts of the town where were wandered through the high street just window shopping!

The harbour area was our next stop to view the many different varieties of boats moored there.

Early May Bank Holiday - Carnon Downs, Truro - Friday pm

Another bank holiday, another trip! Just how it should be.

We arrived on site just before 12noon and pitched up on our pre-booked 'super pitch'.

After a snacky lunch we walked into the village of Carnon Downs and then onto the local garden centre, where we were allowed to wander around inside with Paddy!

All of these photos were taken on site at Carnon Downs CC (affiliated) site. The weather wasn't great BUT it was dry, which was a bonus considering the weekend forecast!

We were joined on site by an afternoon visitor, who we saw more than once over the weekend. We also heard the owl each evening (so loudly, that we swear he was perched on our bike rack!).

Porth, Newquay weekend - mid April 2010

Another evening spent in the Mermaid Inn (more food, more cider and more footie!) and another stunning sunset.

The skies were blue again Sunday morning and we had another visitor to our pitch!

After breakfast and a short walk across to the beach we packed up and headed home, happy that we'd enjoyed what turned out to be the warmest weekend of 2010 ......... so far!
