Visit Avebury on the way down there...not far from
Glastonbury/Stonehenge...

Cornwall is all nice...there's an excellent set of huge
Radio Telescope down there near lands-end...name escapes me
at moment...

going to Avebury on the Tuesday, shits on Stonehenge
easily.

Lizard Point i think we'll give a miss, biggest
telecomunications center in the world, i reckon it might be
a bit shady down there.

u know any other places down there jand?

I mostly used to go to Padstow when I went to Cornwall -
it's where they hold the May Day parades and stuff, but I
haven't been for years now.

Cornwall's crazy as fuck when it's summer. I did enjoy going
on the speed boats too :D My mate goes down for a weekend
now and again, I keep meaning to join him.

I think I remember that golf course Jack - many happy
memories! And I've got a lot of ties with Cornwall too...
maybe I should look into my family tree sometime. I'll
probably discover my great-grandparents came from Jurassic
Park or something tho.

That hotel overlooking fistrel was the one used in the film
adaption of "The Witches" by roald dahl if I remember
correctly.

Looe is a nice little town, you can rent a boat from my
uncle there too.

The Monkey Sancturary is worth a visit if you like wildlife
and the people who work there will be able to sort you out
with some puff...

Yeah, you spelt it right :)

Scenery up the valleys (North of the Towns) is great. Almost
Scandinavian in places.

I went up the Beacons last weekend. Expect to see some
photographs in Titsworth's Phux next compilation if he
chooses to include them...
