Well, if you want to come down to Newquay we can offer:
climbing (indoors and outdoors)
surfing
coasteering
kayaking
hiking
bbq on the beach
night life
general training, gym etc

We can do the surfing and climbing (i.e bouldering) on the cheap; for a proper coasteer you need to go out with a legit group.

What sort of accommodation are people after? Tents? Something more substantial?

[Chet]

Now that's exactly what I'm talking about

Hmm....never even considered camping for some reason. Could be very cool - though if families etc are coming I'm thinking something more substantial would in order?

[Gubernatrix]

Well, no harm in having a 'party caravan' so that those who want to can have a riotous time! Others can opt for hotel/B&B.

[Gubernatrix]

I'm sure we can have a junior division for Will and the other kids.

LOL

[Will]

lol hey I resent kid. Technically at 18 I am an adult just a young one; thats gonna be the best

[nickyhusky]

I'd just like to announce that I don't guarantee not to snarl at / slap / shoot any kids who may come along. I was kidding when I said I'd bring mine.

Any cheeky 18 year olds are also in danger of a slapping if they misbehave

I could camp if I really have to, and provided I get a tent to myself! I think I still have one somewhere... otherwise, i don't mind B&Bs etc.

I'll go along with the majority in terms of what we actually do. Except for climbing, which I can always watch.

I just like the idea of getting away, chilling out and doing a bit of training.

[Paul]

Static caravans are pretty damn cheap.... you can get one for 6 persons in Newquay for like... £300 for the week can't you?

I hope cheeky 21 year-olds aren't in slap-danger.

I'd prefer not to camp, in all honesty.

[Will]

Nothing beats waking up in a bed. I think beds to. Is anyone going to reading music festival? I just remembered I am but can't remember the date?

Might be a bit more in August but yes, that kind of ballpark. It's not always possible to get a caravan for a weekend - it depends how full the park is. Of course, there's no reason why some people couldn't stay for a week if they wanted. There's so much to do and the weather is usually great in early September.

[Gubernatrix]

Newquay is bloody gorgeous today! I've just been down to the beach, lazying on the sand for a bit watching my mate teach a bunch of rookie lifeguards, then arranging a climbing trip. I just love my life right now!!

[Chet]

OK...so Gubes (or anyone),

Anything element of the weekend we should be booking now, in your experience?

[nickyhusky]

Accommodation, probably. Though we need to know at least approx no.s for that. Gubes, got any ideas on that front?

[Gubernatrix]

Yes, we probably ought to look into accommodation if we are thinking of going for 29 Aug - 1 Sept. I can see if any of the holiday parks will do a caravan for a long weekend.

Should we have an 'official' sign up list? I can start one if you like. Please add/subtract your name from the list below. Might also be useful if you could add your acommodation preferences (if you have any):

Chet
Gubernatrix - no pref, camping/caravan/beach all fine
Nickyhusky
Paul
Will
Pete
Brew
MarkCFD??
MattM??

[Chet]

Nice one Gubes - thanks

I've added the list to the original post to make it easier to see what's what at a glance, as and when peeps confirm/state preferences.

Just so happens the original post is by you so we can both edit the list, hehe
