Just watched via bbc iplayer,the tin mine looked like a great place to overnight anyone stayed there.Richard's gear changing doe's leaves a lot to be desired(a bit like the cornbeef hash)
the vw gearbox probably needs a rebuild now.The first 2 episodes are still available on iplayer episode 1 was Pickering to Scarborough in a Morris Traveller the 2nd the Llanberis pass in a Ford Zodiac(he had trouble with those gearboxs also).Next week Richard is in the Lake District in a Triumph tr3a so i will look forward to that,Andy.

Very nice area of Cornwall, shame about the grinding teeth, or was it his own doing the nashing? Richard would'nt do as a wild camper, wanted own loo etc, but found some lovely spots.
Nicest split screen camper I have seen for a while, was during the recent Whithouse Farm Meet, was in the drive of a local chap who was only too pleased to show us around it. Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) was about to purchase it, so maybe another show about to start?
Happy Camping

Hi
The Tin mine at Botallack is a great place to stay the night, fantastic views, I would recommend parking up against the wall next to the Count House. I believe its owned by the NT. Thats about 50yds from where he parked the VW. I get the feeling wild camping would not be tolerated if more than a couple of vans turned up - the odd one or two is ignored.
Great pub in Botallack. 5 mins walking from Count House
If needed campsite with showers at Truthwall, 30 seconds drive from Botallack to St Just.
