Paul's Bay it its new colour scheme for 2009, nice one Jakie
Ok the posts are out od Synch as the Cruise took place before the Swapmeet but, as you will see from the photographs the weather was also kind to us on the day too.
We all met on the outskirts of St Austell and once assembled our lead vehicle Wayne in his 1966 Split Screen set off and like the pied piper soon had a long stream of VW’s following him down the road. Our destination was a good few miles off and, in true fashion, by the time we reached the outskirts of the town we had become very frgmented.
The lead gorou of around 2o vehicles pulled off into a long lay by to await the others and then it was realised that they had taken another route, all good plans go wrong after all. We treaveeled right on and passed through the seaside town of St Mawes and gave the locakls something to talk about and then made off to our final destination the National Trust car park at St Anthony on the Roseland.
One vehicle experienced trechnucal difficuklties, a Bay Bus, with sticking brakes that overheated whilst travelling over the hills and dales of Cornwall. Eventually all were re-united and we filled the car park much to the surprise of other people who came along and could find no place to park oops!
Here are a few pictures and a link to the main Flickr site

As you can see, we could not have wished for better weather, it was excellent.
You can see St Maws Castle in the last photograph. This dates back to the reigh of King Henry 8th and it was built to protect the entrance to Falmouth Harbour in tandem with the larger castle at Pendennis on the peninsula at Falmouth. Falmouth harbour is I believe the third largest natural deep water harbour in the world.
