Meanwhile ... If you want a pretty damn good Cornish Pasty then Portreath Bakery is the place to go
Thanks, you seem to get around a bit pf
I will be in PLH for an annual bbq in August. Some are flying down from MAN whilst they still can, but even if I was coming from up there, the train journey around Dawlish is still a real treat imho. (Maybe that's why some ppl preferred the train) Will also head across the Royal Albert Bridge and hopefully make it down to Penzance.
As for PLH, the thing with airports is they are very good users of land when you are considering footprint of two airfields against the land take for comparable rail or road. But a runway takes up the same amount of space, however much it is used. Combine low usage with attractiveness for other uses and the result is obvious.
