We’ve booked into a site near Porthtowan in Cornwall for our annual pasty fix 🤤 You’ll be close to where we are, ER. We will be having a pasty tomorrow I’m pretty sure, as long as the Jam Pot cafe has some

Eynsham Red Sep 2023 8:54pm, 12 Sep 2023 9,940 posts	0 Eynsham Red It took five hours driving time from Oxford to Porthtowan which is fairly standard. However, it took three hours of walking, bussing and driving to collect our hire car from Truro and return to the campsite due to major roadworks impacting on rush hour traffic. GimmeMedals are you planning a parkrun whilst you’re down here? I should be going to Heartlands 🤞
GimmeMedals Sep 2023 9:05pm, 12 Sep 2023 25,823 posts	0 GimmeMedals I can imagine the chaos those roadworks are causing, ER. It's Cone City isn't it. I'm not expecting to go to parkrun, though Heartlands sounds like a nice course. We don't tend to drive much once we are set up, as we have to pack everything away. We'll have a couple of days out - to St Ives and Marazion - on the days we need to do a grocery shop, but otherwise will just go walking or running from the campsite.

Eynsham Red Sep 2023 12:17pm, 14 Sep 2023 9,949 posts	0 Eynsham Red Having to cut our holiday short. Sherry had a fall last night resulting in a dislocated elbow. After a long night in A&E we’re just taking stock on deciding when to return home. Originally it would have been next Tuesday. With her arm in plaster and feeling uncomfortable home is a better place to be than on a campsite in a motorhome.

GimmeMedals Sep 2023 7:17pm, 14 Sep 2023 25,833 posts	0 GimmeMedals Ouch. Home is probably the best place to be. Did you go to Truro hospital? Geoff scratched our motor home getting into the car park there when I fell and broke my hand a few years ago.
