Fordy if you go north through cornwall (A30) you wont need to pay anything and its much faster too. I think thats the campsite Claire (my g/f) grandparents used to run. Its a nice site, and quite central to lots in cornwall. You will definatley want to visit Truro its a very nice city. You can get short boat trips from there around the local area which are also good fun. Lands end is about an hour and a half away, which if you like that kind of thing is a worthwhile day trip, even if its just to say you have been there. Mevagissey is a small fishing village, again quite nice. And then there is Newquay the more lively and young part, and all the beaches etc that go with it.
Since Claire used to live down there and I live up here with a round trip of about 280 miles each way, I know the journey well. I used to take the A38 route, but the A30 is much faster and much nicer! HOWEVER in the summer I REALLY suggest to either take the journey very early (or late) to avoid the crazy summer traffic (both routes). That can add 2 hours or more to the journey.

Traffic is stupid in summer grr ........lucky i know loads of back lanes to get around :grinning: ....makes traveling loads more fun!!
the A30 is having "road developments to it" all over to be honest but really bad by "bodmin"!!! not that you would need to take the A30 that far down (if that makes sense, cause you will be taking the "A390" to get to truro and about????)

ed i think im going over the bridge because im going down with my parents that are towing the caravan, maybe we went over the brigde before because we couldnt go though Mevagissey with a caravan,
i do like cornwall, Mevagissey is great for walking around little shops and watching the fishers come back on the boats unloadin their catch,
i only went though truro to get to asda for supplys, lands end is small but the firework show was great watching it on the cliff top, my parents have a thing of finding beachs and there not always easy to get to,
we normally leave about 5 or 6 in the morning when we go, but its a convoy line like this, terrano + caravan followed by me followed by x-trial + trailer, and this year theres less people going or it would be + another car and caravan and a megane estate. lol more fun with more people imo
traffic isnt bad as long as the aircon is working, but this year im going in my car which doesnt have aircon :doh: so i hope its raining on the way down so i dont get cooked alive lol
