Just a feeler...RTTS Meet in May

MisterGT · 03-05-2006, 00:18

Not wishing to hijack Pixies thread but anyone passing Okehampton on the A30, either going to or from the meet is welcome to join me for a small drinkie at possibly the most intriguing pub you may ever see.

http://www.thehighwaymaninn.net/

Opening hours 1200-1400 and 1900 till whenever I get kicked out

Tigger_1979 · 03-05-2006, 09:44

1.Raceylace - white vrs
2. Devonutopia - Will try to keep up with Becky, but will fail.

3. Tigger & Bex

Im trying for the whole weekend
but leave at 2pm Friday may mean nasty traffic
is there going to be drinks on the Saturday night

devonutopia · 03-05-2006, 10:00

Apparently I heard the main show bit is on the Sunday, which means it will be 2 night stopover.... This is tempting me more in the direction of camping rather than staying in my car... unless there's a 6 foot by 2 foot bit of floor somewhere.

MisterGT - that pub is so f***ed up.

But I like it.

That little cubby hole full of stuffed animals.

pixi · 03-05-2006, 10:16

We will be leaving our apartment on the saturday so won't be around that night.

I definetely won't be able to keep up with Becky as I am a 'sniff it and I'm drunk' type drinker. That highway man pub looks very interesting, might have to stop off for some lunch on the way down or back

Can someone please add me and mr p to the list aswell as 'big v' (she's black)

Goochie · 03-05-2006, 10:29

Racelace - where abouts are you ?

My parents have a house at Constantine bay

pixi · 03-05-2006, 10:39

Can anyone recommend from experience decent places to eat/drink? I see that Jamie Oliver's new fifteen restaurant opens this month down at Watergate bay but is likely to need booking 3 years in advance

To be honest I prefer a nice country pub.

We found one on a beach a couple of miles out last year and ended up doing the pub quiz with the locals, hilarious

Has anyone tried the Indian on cliff road before?

Goochie · 03-05-2006, 11:07

The one on the beech sounds like the one at Peranporth

The chippy at Porth is good and is sometimes staffed by an amazingly gorgeous blonde

(Mr Pixi will appreciate her I'm sure). The chippy at St. Merryn is also good.

pixi · 03-05-2006, 11:12

Definetely wasn't perranporth, but I may go to that one this year. It may have been the Bowgie Inn, I'm not entirely sure. No offence to the chippy minded but it aint really my thing

I was thinking of a nice country pub to spend the afternoon or evening, more of an experience than being attacked by ninja seagulls trying to grab your chips, why do the seagulls down there look like they've been on steroids

it's because people keep on feeding them

so they expect food from everyone.

Goochie · 03-05-2006, 11:36

There is a really nice pub between St. Merryn and Padstow, cant rememer what its called but the road its on has a really big dip (sorry, not much help!). Avoid Padstow "Rick Stein" if possible as there are nicer, less touristy restaurants elsewhere.

For those interested in this slightly related bit of info - Google Earth has recently been updated in the Newquay area.

hehe - Will, you make me out to be an alcoholic! I'm notttt

Well, being a 'sniif and drunk' drinker is the best sort to be! Saves a lot of dosh!

But yes - people must make up for the drink that Will doesn't have seeing as he's killed himself with all those years at University being a hard drinker

hehehehe

Tigger_1979 · 03-05-2006, 14:48

Lets keep the important stuff noticed

1.Raceylace - white vrs
2. Devonutopia - Will try to keep up with Becky, but will fail.
3. Tigger & Bex
4. Mr & Mrs P, in the black V
5. L-Y-K

Tigger_1979 · 03-05-2006, 15:05

also whats the main meet information i.e. whats going to happen etc???

all I got so far is pi$$ups on Friday and Sat night
Friday 26th May til Sunday 28th May
maybe a mini BBQ and Mr Pixi gonna teach us all to surf (or drown)

silvrs · 03-05-2006, 16:26

Anybody see Booze Britain on ftn last night ?
It featured a bunch of guys from Newquay who called themselves 'The Tanks'. It followed their antics on a night out in Newquay, which included drinking other peoples urine and sick

Goochie · 03-05-2006, 16:27

Newquay IS the drinking capital of the southwest. Not really a very nice place unless you're into drunken yobs etc.

pixi · 03-05-2006, 16:40

I have a love/hate relationship with Newquay. Mr P goes for the surf, mostly fistral, and I go for the beach. In the height of summer there really is some scum there, it's like englands answer to Ibiza town

But I cannot wait to get there now as we are staying in such a fantastic place this time

I have now put Mr P out of his misery and told him where we're going/staying. Obviously he is chuffed to bits and already plans to spend over £250 for a new wetsuit as soon as we get down there

I managed to casually drop into the conversation this morning....by the way, we will be meeting up with the skoda lot

Goochie · 03-05-2006, 16:45
