Hello Campers

Camping near St Ives, North Cornwall

I’ve just sorted out the camping arrangements for the Book Launch Weekend.

Camping will be available at Higher Farm in East Prawle, located (I’m quoting the owners here) 50 metres past the telephone box on the same side, heading towards the sea.

It’s a farmer’s field with limited facilities, so please don’t expect Butlins! The owners ask for quiet in the evening and there will be a charge for camping, which I’ll extract from people in the morning before we paddle and pass on to the farmer.

I do hope that you can join us for this weekend!

Sunday morning … we all go paddling.

    Hi Mark and co - I will be down there myself from late afternoon onwards, but I suspect there will be no problem with arriving earlier. I will call the farm again tomorrow to confirm that all is okay with them, and post up if there are any extra snippets of info to be aware of with the camping.

About

Over the past eighteen months I have researched, photographed and written a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have been using this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.
