On the way back we diverted through Portreath, St Agnes & Perranporth (where the Nuddy Beach is šŸ˜‰) filled up at Morrisons when we got back at 15.00.

Wed 9/6/21 11.00-14.30
Hendra-Padstow

10 Bikes left the site at 11.00, we rode past Newquay Airport & it seemed ok, with a few Police around & the odd closed road for the G7 DFA Summit, then followed the B3276/Coast Road, through some lovely villages & scenic beaches to Padstow.
Parked up for an hour on the Harbour Front, had a Wander About & some Nosh, then came back via the same route, except the Old Bill decided to have some fun by closing the main road A30 around the Airport, we had to U Turn along with all the cars & find another way round, thatā€™s when the Fun Started.
I reset the destination on the Satnav & we ended going down (basically) a Cart Track, complete with Slippery Ford, then wound our way through the lanes until we got near Indian Queens & back on main roads to Hendra.
Thanks to Keith for Tail
ending.

Friday 11/6/21 11.00-14.00
Hendra to Charlestown Harbour.
(Sub titled-The Lost Key Incident šŸ˜‰)

https://goo.gl/maps/V6KKuFVPbJQ3BMPk6

12 Bikes left site at 11.00, nice steady ride through the lanes & some main roads to St Austel-Charlestown Harbour.

A few of us parked in the free motorcycle bay but 7 couldnā€™t & had to park in 2 bays, paying Ā£1.50 each, we need to find out the parking rules for M/Cs-do you pay for each bike or each bay ?

Had an hour for refreshments & returned to the Bikes to get ready to leave, however one of us lost his padlock key šŸ™„ (no names-CHRIS) Lorraine went off in a vain search for it, retracing their steps, to no avail, it was decided that the rest of us should go back to site as there was nothing we could do, but weā€™re like the Military -ā€˜leave no one behindā€™ & we waited patiently until Lorraine returned. She double checked Chrisā€™s many pockets Low & Behold-She found them šŸ¤Ŗ
So after a short delay we headed back to site, diverting on the way due to road closures, weā€™ll be glad when this B/S G7 finishes.

Hendra-Looe

7 Bikes went out on a Medium to Fast Ride to Looe, using main roads, duel carriageways & some lovely picturesque lanes, running alongside the River. We parked up outside Martinā€™s Dairy (Great Name for a Pasty Shop šŸ„Ÿ) & wandered down to the beach for an hour, before heading back to Hendra.
Nice little Hoon.

Then we just ambled back along the coast to Hendra.

Teenie Weenie Ride Out.

10 Bikes went out for a Little Ride about, round the local Beauty Spots, we headed to Crantock Beach Carpark but it was exceptionally busy so we just turned round in the Bowgie Inn & tried to get some refreshments, but with all the Flipple Flapple of downloading Apps etc we decided to take our custom elsewhere & went to Holywell Bay, where, what I thought was a Masked Mad Woman šŸ¤Ŗ (Pam Monk) flagged us down outside the Treguth Pub where we stopped for refreshment. Then most of us came back to site & a few went on to Perranporth (Nuddy Beach ā˜ŗļø)
