Right then guys and girlies, the promised meeting's finally arrived!

The exact route's still up for tweaks and general sharing of amazing roads - but I would suggest us meeting at 7pm in the main Malpas car park - good opportunity to get a couple of pics before it gets dark, closely followed by a convoy in the general direction of the King Harry Ferry (Amazingly, driving straight past the Punchbowl and ladle in time for a quick non-alcoholic beverage and a bit to eat), taking in the scenery as we go.

With a bit of time on my hands I've been exploring all sorts of areas for driving, namely the B roads between Camborne, redruth and Falmouth, but am completely open to suggestions!

    Sorry guys, a bit too far for me to make an appearance for a weeknight.

    Would've come if it was aother night but i'm busy all week with overtime at work aswell as prior engagements. This weekend would probably be a better date though. maybe next time.

Re: The lanes and a ferry called Harry - Wed 16th July
morning everyone - Right, the plan is as follows:

7.00: meet at Malpas main car park

7.30: arrive at the punchbowl and ladle for drinks and indeed food

8.20: Crossing to the roseland on K.H.F

Then drive back around the roseland, up towards tregony, and back towards truro through tresillian.

Should qualify for a few photos and a bit of mileage!

Can't see it happening so I'm going to gently decline on this evening, just a bad week for me to get a free evening.

Happy Birthday Martijn, sorry I can't make it. If it was friday evening I'd be able to show up.

Re: The lanes and a ferry called Harry - Wed 16th July
Still waiting to hear from Kelv but it does look like only 3 at the moment.

Malpas car park... use "Malpas Rd @50.254122, -5.039082" to get directions with maps.google.co.uk. Basically, go through Truro on the A39 as if you were going to St Austell, across Tescos roundabout. At the next roundabout (the one with Halfords on your left), take the last exit, almost back on yourself alongside the river. Keep going for about a mile and the carpark in on your right hand side.

Re: The lanes and a ferry called Harry - Wed 16th July
Would it be easier if we all just met at Tescos instead of Malpas?

Re: The lanes and a ferry called Harry - Wed 16th July
definitely - was worried some guys may not check the forum before going, but seeing as we're all on here 24/7, should be fine!
