i thought i would share our cornwall nightmare with you all!!
we are quite new to the motorhome scene bought a brand new motorhome last july spent a lot of our hard earned savings £30,000.00 to be exact we go away most weekends so we are not total novices anyway.
we had been driving down to cornwall stopped the night at bude, then we sopped on the top overlooking widemouth bay next day we set off. now at this point we should have gone back towards bude but being adventourous like you do we just hit the road. at this point i did point out that it was very narrow and steep but i was assured it would be fine
a few more steep down hills later we hit a small village oh my god!! as we drove through we had to go up the steepest hill with a hair pin bend you have ever seen, yes you have guessed she was'nt going up that hill for nobody a lovely camber in the road added to the fun oh and hardly any road surface.
we decided we would have to turn round se we reversed back and had no option but to pull into a private lane to try and manouvre a wich point a very nice cornish man came out to try and help us, he said it happens all the time and we are the first this year
he said we would never get back up the way we came and we had not much chance of getting up passsed the hair pin bend we where stuck
we decided to give it another go and another go and another go then a farmer came along and told us to reverse back keep in a low gear and give it as much welly as we could. he was very reasuring and offered to get his tractor and pull us out
well you will be pleased to know we made it out
we learned a valuble lesson not to be so aventurous
surely you all have done silly things that you could share with us all
we think it's funny now but we did not do much laughing at the time

) and asked "May I pull you up?", took out his rope, fixed it and with united forces we went up. The whole job was done within 10 minutes.
