days out and about in Cornwall

[OLIVE-BAY]

thought I'd post up a few day trips as its the silly session again, I know a few of you come down ere for your hols so maybe of use to you

the bus and the summer run around

the bus parked up, a welcome sight after a stomp around time for a sit down and a cuppa 8)

today we went to portleven near helston, a place called Loe Bar great free parking the middle of town, two great pubs with good food. out on the beach its off the tourist track, its easy to get to flat under foot suitable for cycling or gentle walking.

whats nice is that on one side of the sand back its sandy beach on the other side fresh water land locked lake; great for dogs and swimming although it does get deep fast our dogs love it, we like playing in the sea and rinsing in the lake 8)

might wanna be careful if the weather is a bit rough :shock: :shock:

another game of spot the bay!! :lol:

parked under this :lol: 8)

I'll add more as we go out and about most days 8)

Very nice westy! , as it is the same year and colour as my own

Please show some interior pictures, would be nice to se how your 'sink' is looking, they do change sometimes through 68'

Personally i would check out what was behind the front bumper, looks strange..and better sort it out if it needs to?

Welcome

It's wax oil over spray behind the bumper I got a bit carried away with it, when they started to grit/salt the roads down ere. And I do live very near the beach so tend to wax oil every 6 months. I welded my 73 bay up in all the usual places, so knew where to look on this one. I don't have a sink in it anymore it was behind the passenger seat. I now have a oven there as don't really use a sink. Have a water dispenser instead.
What colour is it I've been told it's pearl White? Somebody else said lotus White?
