Touring in Cornwall, not Scotland, for a change

[Deleted member 37751]

Your turning into Alan Whicker before our very eyes Steve!

Fantastic photos and write-up.

Keep up the good work!

Looked like a nice trip.

But...never heard of Martin Clunes?
Men behaving badly?
Your education is sadly lacking.

Here's one I took 2 years ago:

Great pictures and report as usual, Steve. I'm glad you saw and ate plenty.

I've ingested two further Chicken Rogan Josh's from The Balti since we ate.

Good choice of destination!

I would say so, completely different to up here. A much warmer climate. All the locals were in jeans/jumpers, I was in shorts/T shirt. Its so much warmer and a kinder climate than here. Other than Northern Ireland and where I am, its one of the few places in the UK I would have been genuinely happy to live/been brought up in

I genuinely love touring, photography (although I am no where near the level I want to be in this, but I will get there). I even enjoy writing these threads, brings back the memory and makes the holiday come back to life.

I once concocted an idea, Steve's world also known as hog land. Its quite wonderful, roads without speed limits, limitless food, a minimal amount of work needed (just enough to keep me in routine 3 shifts/week and 4x rate of pay). its wonderful just thinking of it.

Everyone needs to explore their own parts more. Ringway suggested a place called the balti in Alderly Edge. Its not far from Manchester but there is lovely country side. Nice places are on your door step, go exploring.

I have seen men behaving badly, James mentioned "Martin Clunes". I said who is that, I did not know you had a mate in Cornwall. I got a very puzzled look and he then said "Doc Martin". I was like what "the shoes". He I think gave up at that point and said it was a show on the television. I asked whether it was a comedy as I know he likes comedy. He despaired. Then there was a poster and I said, I have seen that face before and he was like, the penny dropped but I still thought if I saw that man I would walk straight past them without knowing who they were....

Nice one mate, really really good curry house. Thanks again for organising the mini meet up and it was a cracking evening with all on top form.

Getting a reservation in the Seafood Restaurant (especially once the season has started ) is difficult ...

Booked up months in advance.

Sod it. I'll dine elsewhere, I guess you pay for the name mostly.

I went to Gordon Ramsays place in Glasgow. My folks took me as a present for passing all my school exams.

It was a lovely meal yes, but no better than a restaurant we ate in for my grandmothers birthday, which is a very good restaurant called Gamba. Not as expensive and you could get a table, we had to go to Ramsays joint on a Thursday as weekends were booked out for yonks and as I was a disaster area, it was deemed best to celebrate what little success I had before I got into more minor mischief.

Looks like you had a whale of a time. Or at least a haddock.

With all the Martins - Martin Clunes and Doc Martin - I can see why you got confused, but it's Port Isaac rather than Saint Martin where the TV series is filmed. We've seen them filming there a few times.

Indeed, so sorry, when you say it I realise. I am not the sharpest knife in the block

Port Isaac, it does ring a bell now.

Lovely place to visit. Really good icecream shop there/

You know me. I am very much a "work to live" bloke, always have a wee jolly lined up or something or other.

Actually turned down what would be considered an opportunity so that I could have it a little easier and a little more time on my hands...

Cornwall .. the loveliest place in England

I'll second that

Some cracking shots, I love the "Field of Gold" shot.

If you ever make it back, Lulworth Cove has some cracking views. If you feel adventurous there is a company that does Jurassic Coast Tours in kayaks.

We took a ride on Waverly round Portland Bill and into Lulworth Cove. It was a great experience on a proper paddle steamer.
There is something memorising about watching a triple expansion engine at work.
