Sorry I missed Brighton........ I was a bit too far away to get to both places at the same time.....
I was in the Scoob and I was having lots and lots of fun in the (very) narrow, twisty lanes around this place.....









Stayed at a very nice farmhouse, and found one of Tiny's relatives there!


As the whole place is all about flowers and such stuff, I thought I might as well take a few pictures of them - here are a few that came out OK.
Don't ask me for the names - haven't a clue - I only took the pictures 'cos I liked the colours!






After the day spent at the Eden Project - the following day, popped off to Boscastle (Where they had the massive flash floods in 2004,
which washed away so much of the village (and the cars) down into the harbour and sea).....
This is the Sea/Harbour entrance, so as you can see - it's a bit dangerous!


Then also popped off to Tintagel to look at King Arthur's Castle etc.....
not much too see really, but the cliff walks above/around the Castle showed some very dramatic coastlines.




The roads from Boscastle to Tintagel, then down to Padstow and onward to the Farmhouse we were staying in was
"Scoob Heaven" - highly enjoyable, chuckable roads with no cameras..... Lovely!!

Overall, I took 750+ photos and of the ones I have kept, they total some 954Meg for those who understand these things.....

Also for the "Techies" - All photo's taken on a Canon 350D with either the standard 18-55mm lens with a UV Filter, or a 55-200 lens with a Polariser Filter.
NO macro lenses were used for any flower shots (hence why I was pleased with these ones)..

Also FYI - The trip was 715 miles door to door and I used 27.41 galls which resulted in 26.08 mpg overall.
Pre-armed myself with the locations of the Shell V-Power garages, so fuel was not the problem I thought it would be...
although it was 110.9p at the one just outside Bodmin!

There - so that's why I wasn't at Brighton....... maybe next year....
