I had Friday afternoon off work - left at 12:15. Home by 12:30. Train to Charing Cross, cycle across Hyde Park to Paddington, 13:33 to Bodmin Parkway arrived at 17:22. Cycled NCN 3 to the Camel Track, then to Padstow. Up steep hill to campsite, pitched and walked to pub with friends.
An excellent walk from Padstow to Newquay along the SW Coastal Path on Saturday - yes... I did pack my walking boots in my panniers! Bus back to Padstow. BBQ on the campsite.
Today - packed tent etc into panniers, then cycled the Camel Track to Poley Bridge with 8 friends, then back to Bodmin, lunch, said goodbye, then off to Bodmin Parkway. Train at 15:01, Paddington at 18:55, home by 8pm.
Why would anyone consider driving all that way!? My friends did!!! -- remove remove to reply

Gonzalez very nice, and very inspiring. Fantastic to know that it's possible, since we've been thinking about some time in the West Country, and can only spare a w/end. And four hours sleep on the journey as well - can't do that in a car (well, I can, Sharon drives me everywhere :-)) ) Cheers SteveP

There's a better campsite just at the end of the camel trail before Padstow. You don't have to climb the hill 🙂

I hadn't selected the campsite, but I was very impressed with it.
£6.50 per person per night (car + tent) £3.50 per person per night (bike + tent)
Many campsites don't make the distinction.
True .. but that is one hell of a hike out of Padstow .. especially well fed and beer'd ... 😉
This one just charged for pitching .. most seemed to distinct about single males. No, no single males allowed. (I'm a paedophile? Or are they worried I may turn up worse for the wear?)
