Cornwall / Devon Meet 2006!

Matt · 13 Jan 2006 at 13:24

After a few brief chats on IRC the idea for a Cornwall / Devon meet was suggested. Ideally it would be early this year, and be when there is some kind of event on

Possibly watersports? so maybe surfing / kite surfing.

There are a few events in the diary that we could possibly attend, and they're mainly in Newquay or Perranporth.

If anyone has any views then post away!

(Though i assume this post will be on page 5 quite quickly

)

If I can find a quick way down there, instead of driving then I'll be there.

im in north devon so should be able to make it work allowing

Dean3d · 13 Jan 2006 at 14:46

Id be interested, would just be a matter of getting down there from stoke.

Matt · 13 Jan 2006 at 16:12

Anyone got any ideas on what event to attend? Or just somewhere good to shoot?

cyKey · 13 Jan 2006 at 17:27

Devon, or maybe Cornwall?

There has to be some sort of surfing event down there.

Matt · 13 Jan 2006 at 17:58

Well, they are in the events calendar... i just wanted someone to pick one, and not me

Because i don't really mind what we go to as i'm down here anyway.

Used to camping at Perranporth , very nice part of the country. Lots of scenic coastline and desolate tin mines. Would be interested in the meet depending on date etc.

i'm going to perranporth this july sometime, was at holywell last year. no chance of getting there any earlier though

MarkST · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:02

Would love to meet although i think its a little too far. When a final date is set i will see if anything is possible.

I would be more than likely 'in' for this
surfing is not my cup-o-tea, but the photo aspect would greatly interest me

Matt · 14 Jan 2006 at 19:25

Well, it's not on page 5 yet

Surfing was just an idea, if you have anything else you'd rather do then suggest it

wez130 · 15 Jan 2006 at 15:00

there's a lot around newquay to shoot, the zoo is nice, holywell bay (a couple of miles away) has potential for some nice seascapes, theres blue reef aquarium in newquay too, world in minature isn't too far away, paradise park (AFAIK) is around there, there is literally hundreds of things to do and shoot there

cyKey · 15 Jan 2006 at 15:06

Bah I don't think I could make it. 8hr train journey, 7hr car drive or a mid afternoon flight to Exeter then a 2hr drive to Newquay so I'd be there for like 6ish.

Matt · 15 Jan 2006 at 15:10

Well that's a rubbish excuse

You could always stay over with someone and drive from Exeter together?

FakeSnake · 15 Jan 2006 at 23:00

Indeed, as I am about 1.5km from the airport, there is always the option of the day before, and kipping here, the passengering with me to Newquay.
Just an idea!

woodsy2k · 17 Jan 2006 at 00:44

I would be up for that. I live in Exeter (student) so it will have to be after the exams...But this will give me a chance to meet some people as well

- been waiting for a meet down here, but I've not got the time to organise one

otherwise i would have done by now.

Matt · 21 Jan 2006 at 20:57

Are we getting anywhere with this? Or shall i just leave it for a bit?

woodsy2k · 22 Jan 2006 at 14:45

Id still be interested! what sort of time of year are we looking? i know it said at the start that it would be early in the year, but things might have changed? Name some dates and ill deffo get back to you
