Well - as Karl said - the weather wasn't bad at all!!
Had a fantastic (very long) weekend!!
Great Location + Great Friends = Great Fun!!
Set off early Friday morning (2.30am infact!!) from Telford Lodge in Kettering - A very sleepy, but excited bunch!
Stopped a few times for coffee and wee breaks!
At Exeter, we met up with Karl's friend from Portsmouth.
Finally we reached the A30, for the final (but very hilly) last stretch of the journey!
We eventually arrived at the campsite at 11am, and set up home!
We knew that we had to stay awake for as long as poss, so that we all slept properly that night, so it was off into Newquay for a bite to eat. Found a cafe overlooking the beach - and the sun shone!
After a wander round town, we all headed back to the campsite, where we stayed for the rest of the evening. Some of the boys played frisbee, whilst the rest of us just chilled in the evening sun!
Following a well deserved, and long awaited sleep, Saturday dawned a little overcast, and Conna and Pip arrived safely.
Popped into Newquay, where we met up with Spenny and Caroline at the pub, and watched the RTTS vehicles cruise round the town. Not a huge amount of VWs, but some funny vehicles around all the same - this being the funniest!!
Again, the grey skies cleared, and the sun came out later in the day, so we all headed back to camp, and had a barbie.
Overnight on Saturday, the heaven's opened, and we found out the following morning, that our awning is not waterproof anymore!
So we placed our gazebo over the top...which seemed to solve the problem!! Unfortunately, it was still drizzly when we headed down to the RTTS Show and Shine. However - not to be put off - we all wrapped up in our waterproofs.

Followed by the 'OK, we're ready now!' pic...
The Show and Shine...
Went into town afterwards, and had a wander down to the beach...
Watched some surfers, making the most of the waves...
Back to camp - where a some of the guys got ready to go out, whilst the rest of us settled in for a night at camp (where the sun had finally decided to come out again)...
Amanda had an unwelcome guest later that night - firstly invading her awning...then invading her cleavage!!!!!!
Here's the beast...
