These are some of the wider roads from Penzance over the Pen with peninsula ., Past the Humpty Dumpty , left toward the Promenade past the Pirates Rugby Club , right toward the NewLynn Art Gallery and Jelberts Ice Cream Parlour up the hill to Gwavas and Sheffield ( I wonder if anyone thought the bus had took a wrong turn here ?) , past the various stones to Lamorna Pottery then right into the lane past Boskennal , the cemetery and village community centre into St Buryan , with its church and recast Whitechapel Bells . Around the Church to the Green , past Tower Park Site to the A30 , left to Crows-An-Wra through to Sennan Cove . About turn near the Old Success pub right to Lands End on the A 30 again . Missing out all my favourite pubs on the way , Kings Arms at Paul , the St.Buryan Inn , 'going up a Treen ' near the Logan Rock , The First and Last at Sennen ...... ! The direct road from Pz to St. Buryan is very narrow with stone walls both sides and best driven at night when you can see headlights glowing . This road from Lands End through Treen , St. Buryan is what Botham took to John O Groats .
Thanks for your comment. I wanted to film the 300 route to Lqnds End that is a lovely senic route, but it only runs during the summer months. I thought that Easter would be the start of summer, but I was wrong. As an experiment a borowed a dash board cam-corder holder and filmed a drive from Penzance to Sennon Cove via Mousehols, St Ives, Mortvah etc. Unfortunatly i was playing a CD and You Tube think it may infringes some copyrights. However I am removing the offending sound track and when done I will publish it on You Tube. I will let you know when i have done it.
Bone-shaker? Compared to Oxfordshire and particularly the city itself, your roads are smooth; for us the predominant noise in a bus, louder even than everybody talking on their mobiles, is the rattle of the bus shaking itself to pieces with a regular thump and bang as it hits another pot-hole or sunken ironwork. As for narrow roads, there is so little traffic, while our buses have to thread their way through narrow gaps between parked cars, and, if you are unwise enough to drive into the city, expect your average speed to be 6-8 mph. Over the last 2000 miles driving mainly round the dual-carriageway of our ring road and up and down the main A-road towards Reading, I have averaged 27 mph; such is our traffic.
Strange that the passengers seem to be a mix of Americans and others speaking unknown languages!!! Not a Cornish accent among them, seemingly. Where they ALL tourists? Anyway a nostalgic tour for me. Thank you!
I haven't been to my birthplace of Cornwall in 20 years now. Even then the only Cornish accent I heard was from my aging relatives. The Cornish accent of my youth, 80 years ago, is long gone I think: and besides, I don't think the locals go to Lands End that much. They know how to walk in for free.
Blimey I was a PSV driver years ago, but the route this takes is unbelievable, narrow lanes etc !!!!!!!

That route must be tight.
Fantastic thanks for sharing.

You always notice on buses loud-mouthed old bags getting louder still when they have an audience. Ditto with their phones.

I meant to say, "go to Lands End on a bus that much"
They are speaking Hungarian!!

Tout les Francaise
