Default The south west is the place to be - again

Hi, Dave,
We've got the beaches and scenery and few crowds - no it's just the warmth
in winter that I envy.

This 'crowded bit' is not the case, unless you choose to go to say Newquay, St Ives or Perranporth. Most of the coast is quiet even in July, and you don't have to wonder far.

It's easy to find a beach almost to yourself, even in July, such as Porthkidney, just 3 miles from St Ives, or Nanjizel, less than 2 miles from the full horror of what DeSavary built at Land's End. I was on Nanjizel one of the few lovely days last July and apart from the group I went it was deseted most of the time, just coastal path walker wandering past and several seals..

Some lovely pics of some of the quiet beaches near Land's End, Pdne (nudist) Porthquarra & Nanjizel, at http://www.chappellphotography.co.uk/

Personally the further I am from a cricket match the better, unless I'm in need of sleep!
