Newquay, Cornwall

What Newquay is famous for (- no, not for Jack Johnson concerts being cancelled due to torrential rain in mid-Summer), the UK's best surf beaches of course

Fran, Teresa and Andrew climbing the hill from the pub back to the campground on our first night there. That's shortly before we discovered that the camp site actually had its own bar...

The trusty Tesco's tent Graham borrowed from his mate Richard at work. It withstood some terrible weather. Plus it matched our car rather beautifully.

Re our car - it decided that it wanted to be like us and that it did not like the huge amounts of rain doused upon it during the night. So it refused to start one morning just as we wanted to head out on a big drive around the sights. We had to call out road side assistance. The mechanic got it going at first attempt. V. embarassing...

It has since done it again and we eventually worked out that it needed the radiator replaced. Not sure how that affects starting of the motor!? But oh well the car is getting old...so we might sell it soon.

Any offers anyone?
