Cornish Buscrafters!

​

dydh da,

I was just wondering how many members of BushcraftUK are from down south.. here in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall, or Devon for that matter. You dont have to be "proper cornish" just if you live here or visit regularly post here in this thread so I know who my fellow local bushcrafters are.

Take care all,

Ash.

[Nightwalker]

Howdy walker, welcome to the forums. Im fairly new here too, this website/community and its magazine is a great resource of knowledge and experts in Bushcraft. Hope to see you round the campfire in the future!

hoping to venture into cornwall soon again for some senic coast walks with a spot of ruffing it overnight on the coast fire on the beach cooking shellfish etc pratice some coastall bushcraft etc do you happen to know any good long lonly walks in cornwall around the coast empty beaches for the night

this seems a very good site and am thinking about subsribing whats the benifits of this if i did

I'm from Liskeard, 20 miles on the better side of the border I spend most of my time on Bodmin moor or Dartmoor.

Walker >> The South West Coast Path is massive, and covers the entire coast from Somerset (I think), right round to Dorset. As for the Cornish part of this, the North coast is far prettier - golden sands, beautiful views and consequently more tourists. The south coast is rather greyer and more shingly, but (especially at this time of the year) less populated.

Liskeard is on the south coast - a few miles from Looe. Looe itself is too busy for the kind of thing you're looking for, but Downderry a bit further on might suffice. It's a really long beach, if you head for the far end of it you're unlikely to see anybody during the day, let alone over night. (Although it is technically a nudist area!) You'd have to be really careful about tides here though 'cos they come right up and you'd be backed up against some loose, slatey cliffs.

Hi All

Just a quick hello from another member in Cornwall

I am based in Falmouth and there should be a few places around the Fal estury for some overnight/cooking on the beach activities.

Cheers

say Nightwalker you got any sapre rooms iv been going down cornwall since i was 2 and reeeealy wont to live there,

 

[Nightwalker]

lol, yeah I wish! Ironic that you say that.. me and the mrs are moving out for the first time to our own place at the end of the week so things are a little hectic for me right now, hence why I havent been on the forums so much lately. I had a beautiful walk down at Tehidy woods like a week or more ago, took loads of photos of many fungi species and have been meaning to post them up here but havent got round to it with all the hussle of moving.

Unfortunatly I wont have any spare rooms.

Good to hear from fellow Cornish (or Cornwall loving) Bushcrafters!! Maybe when I have got my life a little more stable ie. moved & got a job, we could organise some unoffical Cornish Bushcraft meets or something?

Howdy hiroo onoda! Welcome to the community. Im also in Newquay, Cornwall, recently moved in near the boating lake. Where exactly around the Newquay area are you? My name is Ashley, im 21 on the 29th of Jan. I couldnt help but notice your profile says your ex-military... if your interested thought I might mention me and a few mates are booked in at Newquay Paintball for my bday on the 20th (Sat) 1pm, so if you want to meet-up and get to know each other at the business end of a gun it could be a cool time seriously if you want to come your more than welcome to bring a friend or something if you want. Just let me know for certain. Hope you enjoy the forums!

Just seen this thread. I'm nr Liskeard pretty new to Bushcraft & keen longboard surfer

 

[bear knights]

Hola,
I'm from the Newquay (ish) area....actually indian queens, but close enough. would love to meet up with the rest of the cornish loving contingency. SMARTY is organising something (see seperate thread) so maybe see you there. maybe when gets a bit warmer (don't have winter suit), we could have a beach forage, big fat fire and an evening surf adventure?
