Megabus is apparently overnight for Cornwall. Departs London Victoria at 23.30. Goes to Redruth and gets there at 07.10. Quick spot of breakfast in Redruth, then your looking at about £6 for the train from Redruth to Penzance.
Other bus lines probably do it in daytime hours.

Ah so the G stands for google

He's turned over a new leaf

Speaking of walking places I once did the Appalachian trail. Took me 6 months just about. I’d like to do it again but kids and wife mean unlikely.

Fuck your ear.

Surely you need a car in devon / cornwall? I went a few years ago and we'd have been fucked without some wheels.

Yeah, public transport isn't great down that way. Even if you catch the once every two hour bus it's probably only going to get you to within 3 or 4 miles of where you want to go.

True. Ok...  Cheapest and quickest way without a car? o_0

Dude, just hire a car. Once you get off the motorway, the drive to (and around) the lakes is amazing. Specially as you can just stop, park up, and admire the beauty. Did it in summer 2016.

I couldnt think of anything worse than the megabus. But then again I hate buses.  And people. Public Transport can do one.

I think it’s time you saw a shrink...

(By the way, I’ve done the walk-off-and-have-lunch-by-myself thing on more than one occasion!)

I can’t afford a shrink, I go to the gym and train in the Dojo most days instead, best and cheapest form of therapy there is.

I agree I’m slightly screwed up though

I don't think it is Nina. Sounds like you're having a great time.

I just checked, everyone can watch them. Have to double check then if they're OK with me posting some pictures here. It's not my kid after all.

We are back from our small road trip towards Santa Cruz and Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Funny to see how all the kids go crazy when they spot the Dory fish, proper celebrity that.

It's been so much fun so far, the kid is cheeky as hell so you need to be very careful with how you say things or otherwise you'll end up in a long discussion explaining yourself. He also catches every swear word B uses.

On our way to Universal Studios now, hopefully nothing looks too exciting from the outside, otherwise he gets scared by the rides again.

We're having fun now, the kid enjoyed both Harry Potter rides and seems to be over his fear of rollercoasters. Special Effects show was still scary, he didn't like the knives and man on fire. We've had duff beers and a huge donut in Simpson land.

Walking Dead is recommended for 13 years and older, so we're skipping that one. He really wants to go on there but it's probably a bit too scary (for me).

It's a cloudy day here, waiting lines are very quick so that's a good thing. I probably prefer Disney, but at least you can take pictures with the characters here. Disney had Mickey and Minnie locked in their houses, with a 45 minute waiting line for both.

You're so close to Shorditch you will literally go mad with food choices...

If you make the walk up to Hoxton (not far, three miles walk at most), there's a small Vietnamese community... And baare' restaurants. You'll probably find the best Bahn Mi or noodle soup in one of those.

Then there's Brick Lane, of course...

There's a Vegan Burger place there that has an awesome selection.

Then there's Cook Daily in Box Park on Shorditch High Street... That picked up some rave reviews from even the most ardent gastronomic snobs, and is frequented by some famous types these days...

And right next door, they probably have the best fried chicken place in London...

Oh... And almost anything from Spittal Fields market.

It's worthless going on about all this shit. Shorditch is crazy on food these days...

London is a fuck.

Off to London this weekend. Staying in Bethnal Green because I like that area. Get in late on Friday, have matinee show of Hamilton on Saturday lunch time, then probably Chinatown dinner, and want to go to the Southbank for the abba exhibition on Sunday. Aside from that, no other plans, for food or things to do. Any suggestions? Last time we came down, this place delivered HARD. Went to Duck and Waffle, The Breakfast Club, Green Papaya. Hopefully gang can deliver.

Lots to do! Sadly I can never remember the names of any places.
You could always jump on a train and come visit old family Wookie

I don’t blame ya! Got so many options to chose from!
Enjoy

Im still waiting outside Camden Tube for you to take you to the Switch event. It’s been about 15 months but I’m still hopeful.

With my wife sadly.

Ah, that's why it's raining - the Scots have brought the weather with them.

FFS reg.
