Trip to Friday 30 September – Sunday 2 October 2011

This is the itinerary for our Cornish trip. Our main base for the weekend will be the Commercial Hotel in St Just but our accommodation is split around the locality as there aren’t any establishments that can accommodate all of us.

Kenny Trembath of the Sun-Set herd has organised our itinerary for us, with a mixture of visits to Longhorn cattle and elements of Cornwall’s rich life, industry and history incorporating agriculture, the sea, Cornwall’s industrial heritage, the arts and some of its finest scenery.

It should be a great weekend!

Itinerary Friday 30 September – make your way to your accommodation. There are plenty of good pubs in St Just, many of whom put on live traditional music on a Friday night.

Saturday 1 October 9.15 Meet at Commercial Hotel, St Just. We’ll be on a coach for the visits as there isn’t room for cars at some of the locations and it keeps us altogether!
