Hello,

We are off to Newquay on Monday for a week and the weather forecast does not look great!

Can anyone recommend anything to do indoors for the days when it is just too wet?! 

We do intend on giving geocaching a whirl at some point!

Thanks in advance!

eden is not so good its just full of plants and its not cheap.  a cheaper alternative is to take the kids to tesco's and walk up and down the fruit&veg aisle...

i think Newquay has a zoo..

Hiya,

It was great thank you, the weather wasnt too bad really! We didnt do an awful lot and didnt get the things we wanted to done.  We did a lot of geocaching though :)

We just stayed in the local area. I really wanted to go in the aquarium... until I saw it! We did Lands End... same as it was last time I went lol.

Although we have only been camping three times, Trencreek is our new favourite.  We need to write a review for it.  We have a large tent so we had a huge pitch, we were made up with the space, it was in the middle of the field but the tent is amazing.  The ducks are sooo cute, i really missed them when I got home. The pitches seemed to have quite a bit of space between them, but it wasnt very full when we went. Pitches were in excellent condition considering all the rain we had! We were on pitch 198.  Caravans look rammed in a bit.  The bar was massive and theres a family room with a pool table... there are lots of kids machine things to play on which i think could get expensive.. pool looked ok, but I wouldnt dip my toe in it... the shop always looked closed but they opened it for us at 11pm for some shuttlecocks so the staff are very friendly.  Close to morrisons, close to nequay. Cant comment on the food as it wasnt open for us.. the play area looked ok.  Toilets were clean and there was an area for hair drying... The shower block near the entrance is probably better as there is somewhere to keep your clothes dry.. you will understand this when you see them!

I wouldnt have liked a pitch near the entrance, they looked quite cramped but apart from that excellent.. unless you have a square number plate like i do as the camera cant read it so had to reverse in!!!

Have a great time..sorry ive waffled on a bit!

Hi,

Thanks for responding so quick.

I know that we are towards the back near the pool but otherwise no idea if we have a big pitch. Hope so as I want to put my coleman dome shelter thingy up!

Well I have a list as long as your arm of pubs, food places, beaches, and places to visit so maybe just as well you didnt add to that

Had to google what geocatching is

The staff were that friendly Im sure if the pitch is too small for your shelter they will move you! :)

Haha well there are that many beaches around there and everyone likes different things.  We did find a handy reasonably priced car park at Fistral beach though.  If you have Facebook, Fistral Beach and Newquay keep putting pics up.. its making me sad im not there!

Geocaching is good fun, breaks up the walking a bit! In fact.. I can suggest a good "cache" at watergate bay and its got one of my travel bugs in it! lol

Have a lovely time.. Id be interested in your view on the site :)
