A week in late Sept/early Oct will cost £595 and probably more.
It's as AutoTrail V Line 669. With a Bristol reg it would probably have been supplied new by one of the dealerships in Somerset. I see the hire company also sells vans on occasion……

Ah, you’ve all sussed me out. I drove 150 miles to Bristol, hired a van, drove back it to Cornwall to empty the cassette toilet, swapped the car park machine for an antique cash version, staged a memorable photograph and returned it. TW could probably supply the VIN number as well as many will be interested? There’s no fooling some of you lot eh?

It was registered/logbook issued on 25th March this year, it has a 2287 cc Euro 6D-CI engine and is taxed, if that helps?

True, much as you try, there’s no fooling some of us. We can spot em a mile off.🤣🤣

Only the manual 6 speed gearbox though😕

It was a super wheeze, Bill, though ultimately unsuccessful in attracting the storm of protest one might have expected; guaranteed, though, to amuse the gullible/easily tickled!
I'd still love to know where that "quiet in August" car park is though, but I guess, a bit like Harry's AS, it's destiny is to remain forever unknown.

What bit of the statement “cars were queuing to get in when I arrived earlier in the day” don’t you get?

No prizes for that one Sherlock, the shadow in the foreground is a bit of a give away. Location is Porthcothan Bay.

to tell the truth GT, apart from up in mountains my mobile signal has never failed me and never in the lake's villages and towns.

"Pillock parking" isn't the sole province of motorhomers. A significant proportion of car drivers don't park their cars. They abandon them at a place convenient to themselves. How often do you see a car that parks just far enough away from the next one that you can't get another car into the space?

We still do exactly this when we stay on a farm up in your neck of the woods. In fact, our son and his family are camping up there right now doing that very same thing 😉

I very very rarely display parking tickets now. Haven’t done so for a long time. I can’t imagine what you’d have to say if you saw my car parked up somewhere. Perhaps they use a parking app? Maybe if parking spaces allowed for large vehicles drivers wouldn’t have to park in this way. I can see that if they were tight inside the regulatory white lines they wouldn’t be able to get out, particularly if they had children to manoeuvre out of car seats or elderly passengers with a dodgy hip like me that needs wide open spaces to exit a car!

Dogs are allowed on Porthcothan, we have used it for years. I think this is most up to date map and information around beaches and dogs
https://www.cornwall-beaches.co.uk/dog-friendly
We know a few on the “no information” section that allow dogs. Will happily share it with you at a later date😉 Good information for Nellie as well, more might be off the restricted list by time they reach Cornwall later in year. Change date is usually 30th September I think. A lot of the dog friendly beaches are some of the really nice, not so busy ones, mainly because the involve a bit of a walk to get to sometimes. Downside of course is that they are often not Lifeguarded.

That’s news to me. Have you got a link?

I saw an episode of the Merton/Webster series involving travelling about in a motor caravan, where they appeared to park it across the big door of a Lifeboat Station and went off onto the beach to eat oysters. Perhaps someone who uses the catch-up application could take a closer look and confirm that was what was shown.

I thought you might have😂😂.
No worries👍🏻

It always good practice to read the post that you’re responding to unless you’re telling us that you don’t display tickets, just because you chose not to? If so, hope that works out well for you.🤪
One of the benefits of driving a panel van conversion is you can easily get out courtesy of the sliding door, even in the tightest of spaces. As for the size of parking spaces, you’re probably preaching to the converted, but if you can’t get in, go and park somewhere you can. You don’t have an inalienable right to park at a location of your choice and if you’ve got mobility problems, maybe you need a blue badge?

A beach that’s far too popular for it’s own good. There are 200+ beaches and coves in Cornwall and everybody seems to want to sit on that one!

We took one look at the queues to get there (Porthcurno) last year and decided Cornwall wasn’t for us. It’s the poster beach for the County in some ways, stunningly beautiful, but much like other iconic locations (Snowdon, JoG, etc...) surrounded by other very beautiful options. The Tide has to be out as well.......😂

'Luxury' can be measured in many ways....if one thinks it's a CC pitch and shower block, then great...
you don't even need to be on a campsite to enjoy 'luxury'....the location and the company well outstrip anything to be found up tight to a white peg

That sequence was at Whitstable in Kent .One of the first shown ,after they wild camped at Seasalter earlier .They and the location team and producers should have known better than to impede an RNLI facility.

Thank you. To be kind to them all I wonder if the building is no longer used for launches, similar to the situation in Whitby where the Lifeboat is now bigger than the original building and is moored in the harbour instead of launching.

I hope this person isn't a C&MC member. Recently caught dumping toilet waste near a loch in Scotland. Utterly disgraceful. Yes you can see his number plate. He needs to be outed.
