Cornwall

Well, most regions seem to have been covered, but not seen much about us folk from the bit that sticks out on the right. Probably just as well though, best to keep a low profile otherwise they might decide to build a motorway to the land of the glorious sunrise. For now we're happy to be relegated from this discussion.
 
Funnily enough we are off to Cornwall this Saturday for a week staying on a campsite in Hayle.
Looking forward to meeting some of the inbred six-fingered folk again :)
Joking apart I absolutely love Cornwall and have always found the inhabitants warm and friendly (even towards me.. a crass thick oik from Brummy land)
 
We were disappointed with the commercialization of Lands End but the car park was spacious so we were able to enjoy the lunch we had brought with us sat outside enjoying the view.
Yes the car parking fee wasn't cheap but was no more for our motorhome than a car.
I wouldn't go again but for a one off I buy the argument that it pays for the upkeep of the area.
I doubt it would have been much cheaper if NT had bought it rather than DeSavary. Mind you as members it would have been free 😀

Yes I think Fowey is private too. Definitely no council ones and some car parks you can't even overnight when the motorhome is empty.
They must be one of the worst councils. I wonder if they know about other councils like the Devon one who owns Appledore etc and allow overnighting...
As you say, lots of vested interests...

Torridge Council. An example more councils should follow.

My Aussie sister in law wanted to see Lands End [she is a real box ticker] and it had been 50 years since I'd been, I was shocked to see a barrier across the road and you had to pay to get through. I just turned around, just a pile of rock and lots of sea at the end of the day.

Don't bother with Lands End, next time go to Cape Cornwall (which some allege is actually further west than Lands End) link here Cape Cornwall

You see Debroos there lies the rub.
Individuals have no power, no influence, and no say in what happens.
Individuals can be ignored, insulted, and patronised by councils.
Its only when individuals get together to form a union with a central goal that they are taken seriously. Councils like this get away with this because no one is there to stop them. I applaud everyone who wrote, but the sooner we get organised, the sooner we will be listened to.

I suggest you join CAMpRA, lots getting together, writing letters, swapping intelligence, speaking to other organisations with a common interest in getting aires, car parking for motorhomes, service points...and trying to get as many members as possible to increase our presence.
 
The main issue is people coming down with tents and camping in farmers fields and on the beaches. unfortunately motor homes have been included in this.

I would suggest you will lose many of our wild camping spots because this mob. They are alerting all sorts of organisations that we've quietly used for years to our existence and are likely to bring on a lot of new signs.
The intelligence runs along the lines of being allowed to stay I motorway services for only £17.

Parked there often with sister who lives nearby. She and a friend found loads of rubbish there recently, including BBQs and soiled nappies - they got some bin bags from the cafe and cleared it up. So sad this is now closed and really don't understand the mentality of those who trash these areas. The farmer who owns it put a chain across but that got nicked so he's now blocked the entrance with a boulder.
