Tall ships Regatta Falmouth August 2014

[Ribandmotorhome]

We are taking our 4.25m RIB to Falmouth to watch the tall ships regatta, probably launching from Mylor and staying locally in our Motorhome.

No firm plans as yet, anyone interested?

Tall ships again?!

Another 500,000 people on the shoreline, the roads clogged with tall-ship spotters and no room to move on the water....you gotta love a proper stick an' string fest.

That's about it.

Lol, that's why I will be parking the camper up in the car park and leaving the boat in the water and not moving for 4 days.
Let all the others fight with parking etc!

Are you a new age traveller? These are Pikey sites!

[Ribandmotorhome]

Lol.
Well we rarely use campsites because of the cost and the fact we don't want or use any of the facilities, we are self contained and the 4 of us can last 5 days in the camper before we need to re fill with water etc etc.

I have been going to devon more than cornwall lately as there are many many carparks on the harbourside or seafront that your allowed to stay overnight in the camper in.

After chuckling for a couple of days at your plight I've just found out that Tall Ships are visiting us here in Esbjerg 2nd - 8th August, before going to Falmouth at the end of the month.

Chaos WILL ensue.
