Vacation V Staycation Costs

Not bragging but we flew from landsend, very small plane runway was a field at Landsend but concrete on St Marys, there was only the pilot and when i asked where the co pilot was, his sandwich box was on the co pilots seat,  he replied "who else would be stupid enough to fly this old crate" say no more, we stayed on Brier, had a fantastic time, no cars, taxi to hotel was tractor and trailor, we just used hire bikes the whole time.

p.s. we were there when the Shearwaters flew in, evening boat trip to watch them brilliant 

😂Lands End Airport. It’s a spectator sport on a rough day, will they fly or won’t they, we like to have a coffe up there and put bets on the Landings😂 Fixed wing weren’t flying back day I needed a flight back, low mist. But I would have opted for helicopter anyway. That was good fun.

JV, 4x4’s are often bought for a different reason than getting from A to B in all weathers and all terrains. Some owners never use the hill start option, or the low range option. But they tend to get used more as they were intended up here, where moors are boggy and the hills aren’t pimples. Good for horse box towing, stump removal, rescuing bogged down caravans on CLs, traversing roads heaped with snow, throwing bales of hay in back, getting tyres a tiny bit muddy. I used to ferry staff into work with ours, and safely home again in thick snow. In some places they are used, not trophy buys.....👍

Top of Okehampton Range, howling gale, Jeep is only mud free because it was raining so heavily. We did four tank traps and three fords to get up there. Beats sitting in van watching TV on a rainy day.😂 Next day we were down at Spitchwick wild swimming......

Do they? Sadly most of our local news points to people wandering out on foot over the mudflats endangering themselves and their rescuers. Every year, unfortunately, reminders to stay near the shore go unheeded. Let's hope we have a safe summer if we're all at home. The latest news appears to show we'll all be here rather than "over there."
