    If you see a green and white Moonraker around Twickenham then it's probably me! Welcome.

    Hello and welcome from Twickers (I live in Wokingham but spend nearly every weekend in Twickenham with my kids)

    We are off to Polberro, Cornwall this weekend camping. As others have said, take your time and don’t make her work to hard on the motorways and you’ll be fine.

    Hi from Chester ,the A roads are much more interesting than motorways and you get there just as quick due to motorway queuing and lower average speed

    "Fusty smell"

    Do you originate from the south coast? The only people I've ever heard use that term are brightonians.

    Check oil.

    Slight pause in neutral when changing gear.

    Don't lug the engine.

    Don't floor the throttle.

    Sing as you go.

    Enjoy

    Welcome from Kent. We owned our bus for just over a year before deciding to take it on a 1200 mile jaunt around NW Germany and France.
    Second everyone else who has said get recovery that will take you home - you never know!
    Enjoy Cornwall and make it a cruise rather than a race against the other weekend travellers

    We're off to Mousehole just near Penzance, so pretty much as far south west as you can go. Thanks for the invite, if we're anywhere near Exeter I'll come along. Any recommendations on good campsites off the A303 - around Blackdown Hills area?

    Welcome to TLB.
    We are in Merriott just off the A303 near Crewkerne, which is pretty much exactly half way to Cornwall.
    If you get into difficulties with the Bus, Ben Lewis, of 'Evil Ben's in Chacewater, lives in Penzance, he will see you right.
