North Cornwall/Devon This Weekend

It's looking set fair and we thought a flight down to Cornwall/Devon on Saturday with an overnight stop and return to Lancashire on Sunday afternoon might be fun.

Any ideas or suggestions from fellow pruners on somewhere to stay? We are happy to camp if we can find a field near a good pub/the sea or both or alternatively overnight in a hotel which is helicopter friendly.

Thanks!

baldegret - I don't want to put you off, but check this reliable inshore boating forecast site for Saturday's coastal weather.

Would have thought the recovery position was more sensible

Thanks for your suggestions. Wind advisory noted. We are heading off this afternoon and will probably refuel at Eaglescott. If we get any good pics I'll post them here on our return...

wind on the south coast not that strong as I had to use a 6.6m sail on my shortboard. You know the wind is strong when the sub 5m sails come out
