Cornwall (UK) Meetups

Nick-H · May 27th, 2005, 14:56

Proposed for Penzance, around 16/17ish of July... ... ...

Nick-H · May 27th, 2005, 15:05

...but probably not the weekend itself.

Sorry to be vague: should have my dates fixed soon

Dr Funkenstein · May 27th, 2005, 16:06

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Be nice to put a few faces to names.

Anyone else down here on their holidays then?

Fancy a cuppa and a natter?

steven_ber · May 27th, 2005, 18:11

Don't tempt me, I love Cornwall.

Used to go to Mevagissy (sp.) for weekends and listen to the fishermen singing in the pub in the evening.

BhuttaJi · May 27th, 2005, 18:17

I'm so frustrated

I keep hearing of meeting's in fantastic palces. I have never been to Cornwall either

Man Nick is so lucky IM meetup's in Chennai and here.

How about a Newcastle IM meet up? I will try to make this one but the working world will get in the way I think!

steven_ber · May 27th, 2005, 18:24

You can get a train direct from Newcastle to Penzance, book early with Virgin (I think) and you can get some really good deals.

The last long train trip I had in England was down to Penzance, when you pass Dawlish (I think) the train goes right along the coast, there was a bit of a storm when I passed and it was an amazing sight.

Thanks Steven. :thumbsup

I will try to make it as I get two for the price of one. I get to meet up with you folks and get to see a (so I have heard) fantastic part of the world. Strange that I bang on to people about India and I haven't visited the South West of my own Island. C'est la vie I guess!

Thanks for the info! Will try to make it.

mmmmmm.......

A westcountry meet-up eh? Now how could we miss that. Mind you we shall have to watch passport control going in from Devon. C'mon Alan D, it's not so far from Southampton.

Steve - you'll have to go right past us, so.... I could even show you the old pumping stations for the atmospheric railway. Brunel was a wondeful man!

All the best
Mike

Not so lucky: I always miss the London ones

mikewill · Jun 19th, 2005, 18:28

Any more plans for the Cornwall meet-up?

Nick-H · Jun 19th, 2005, 18:40

Sorry, I haven't fixed my dates there yet. I'm back in UK all too soon now (29th) and will talk with my Newlyn friends next week. They are inundated with visitors this summer, so I probably won't be able to spend too many nights there...

ColinT · Jun 19th, 2005, 19:34
