Oh dear, it doesn't sound very safe on the roads down there at all really, does it? Perhaps you should all call the trip off and go back into work next week instead?

How many films is just enough for a week in Cornwall?
(BTW Mrs R this morning said "You're not going to take ALL this photography stuff are you?"... I said nothing!
Ive just thrown all my film in the coolbox, i just could not decide what to bring.

LOVE it and it's very true (as well as being a good, entertaining read!) If you see a narrow lane with a sign to a campsite, pick a different route to where you're going.

Cider and film are all I need, and they won't take long to pack

Where abouts might you be going Sunday morning? Just in case I happen to be nearby I know not to hang around too long.

It's brightened up and the sun is out up here now in Cheshire Andy, I can't quite see what the sea is doing though!Currently imbibing a refreshing flagon of San Miguel in the Merrymoor Inn in Mawgan Porth. Rain lashing against the windows and a raging sea crashing into the coast, very Poldarkian.

Something has just occured to me... (Actually, Mrs Nod reminded me of it!)
The Devon County Show is on at the end of next week so traffic around the motorway junctions near Exeter WILL be bad, as will the A30 interchanges. This will probably be on the Saturday evening and Sunday so be prepared for a wait if you're heading home at that time.

So, this evening there was a plan to go out for sunset, but it was pouring with rain so we didn't. Then, it cleared a bit, but obviously wasn't going to be anything other than just a bright patch in the sky... except a clear strip appeared below the clods, then wedges of sun slowly dropped out of the cloud towards the horizon, passing through another narrow band of cloud, lighting up the underside of the main clouds before slowly disappearing, lingering before the final sliver vanished...

It was a very nice sunset indeed. For me the light on the fairly impressive waves made it even nicer. Shame we had to run out so quickly and I didnt have time to set up my large format gear but the Voigtlander should produce some nice shots, hopefully.

Looks like the first paragraph of a Novel, can`t wait for the next installment.
But seriously, Clear Blue sky again this Morning, hope it stays fine for you all..

Excellent day yesterday, mooched around St Ives during the day and the weather was very nice. The highlight was the 4 pronged gull attack on Mrs Snaps blackcurrent and vanilla flavoured ice cream. Sneaky b*ggers swept in from out of the sun and knocked it from her hand.
We went to Godrevy for a sunset but it petered out before becoming anything special. Still a wonderful spot though and with some big waves crashing in worthy of a shot or two, definitely going to go back.
Off to the Eden project today.

Typical! You only mentioned my calamity and not the others.....
Nick dropping a loaded dark slide into the sea!
Carl slipping on the platform and nearly landing on the train tracks!
Woodsy's bag being hit by a wave!

Not to mention the 4 of us (me, @nikki_s , @Carl Hall and @RaglanSurf ) that had the stones to head out for a sunrise... which was awesome.

Blimey, are you lot safe to be out on your own? It's only Monday and already it's reading something akin to a story-board from a Laurel and Hardy film! Just try to survive the week so we can enjoy the photographs when you get back!
Banter aside, I hope The Eden Project was good, it's on my list to visit if I ever get time to go down Cornwall way.
