California Club Meet Updated Information: Looe Meet - Oct 2020

[Lulu]

We booked. This will be be our first Cali meet and well overdue considering we will have had our Beach for 3 years by then.

Can't get my head around the early May bank holiday being on a Friday though. I was thinking this meet would run into a bank holiday Monday!

That was the intention when first planned, but the Government went and moved the bank holiday!!

Bank holiday is the week after to coincide with VE day. Maybe we will get another one at the end of January.

Just booked for 3 nights (with dogs and 6 year old...)! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

The site have given me another 5 places, but these will be the final ones as that will bring us up to 50 vans!

Any thoughts on bringing bikes? Is the area suitable? I note it’s only a couple of miles into town? ‍

It's a great area for Biking (& Surfing). I Spent 3 years in Plymouth.

Thanks -- just did Google Street view - maybe not.

Cycling into Looe would be easy enough, but the return may be a little taxing going uphill!

Just like the footpath fromTenby to campsite

I was getting quite excited, and then I read this:
"This is a 70.24Km bike ride in Looe, United Kingdom. The bike ride has a total ascent of 1205.98m".

Not really suitable for a five and six year old with their dad. Maybe we could manage it on the tandem triplet, but with two lumps of deadweight on the back who only push the pedals around when they can be bothered, I'm not sure I want to cycle the equivalent of one and a fifth kilometers vertically upward!

 

[Amarillo]

10 minutes cycle ride to the nearest beach.

20 minutes back...

 

[Goss]

Booked, thank you!

And we're in too. Will have a 5 year old with us so might not be the most sociable, but someone will have an adventure

We have a 5 & 6 year old - so you’ll not be alone.

My wife who only works for money on Fridays, has just tried to get leave for Friday 1st May in order that we may try to attend this meet (subject to there still being any places left). Unfortunately her request was refused as that weekend appears to be heavily over subscribed presumably because people think that it includes a Bank holiday on Monday the 4th May. However we have just discovered that it doesn't. The government appears to have moved that Monday Bank holiday back to the Friday 8th May in order to mark the 75th aniversary of VE day. Are you all aware?

May bank holiday will change date in 2020 for an amazing reason

The bank holiday will not be the first Monday in May as usual

Your calenders and diaries may say bank holiday on the 4th May but they are now wrong.

As for us, in light of this fact our grandkids won't have parents at home on the 4th May we would have to leave on the Sunday to be back for them on the Monday and this is after arriving late on the Saturday. So sadly we won't be attending.

For those of you that are attending I hope that you all enjoy a great time with the sun shining all weekend.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Thanks for the information/confirmation. We were always going to be leaving on Sunday morning - ferry to catch on Monday!

 

[Lulu]

Sorry you won't be able to join us. They moved the bank holiday just after I set up this meet, but we decided to go ahead anyway. There is the 2 night option for people who have to go to work on the Monday.

Thanks Lulu,
We'd love to attend but we would have to change ponies about a dozen times to get to Looe and that's after leaving home on Friday evening. We'd then have to leave after only a day so I'm afraid it's not viable for us.
Have a great time.
Best wishes,
Paul

The perfect excuse to bunk the boys off school for a day.

I remember that path back from Tenby! Serve me right for buying too much shopping that I then had to carry back

I tried cycling up it.......

That was a killer on return trip to camp - took it VERY slow with controlled breathing certainly sorted the fit from unfit out but enjoyed Tenby immensely

Totally agree - a fantastic meet and one that will stick in the memory for many reasons!
