Cornwall 2011

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Surely! So a promising amount of interest. Any suggestions or thoughts just pitch in and we'll start forming a plan!

How about we hold it at cornwall best beach, Porthemmet? It will be perfect for our visitors that come down this way from over the Tamar, like Podge and co. I am sure they will be impressed with the quality of spearing there too!
Porthemmet Beach

We could have a practice somewhere else first, one of our less impressive beaches, to make sure we get things all set right then hold the main BBQ at Porthemmet. Makes perfect sense to me :).

Always up for a raid over the boarder, could try to get the weekend off work (tis a bast**d having to work Saturdays) if I can get a bit of notice.
Spearo get togethers are the way forward but not too much spearing ever seems to get done as the lure of the pie and beer is just too much.:friday:friday
Happy Days Gents and keep us foreigners in the loop as I’m sure there’s a few of us that would be up for it.:)

The more of you fine chaps i can put a face to the better. We'll bash a few dates about until we find the best mutually acceptable day which will, in the tradition of Cornish bbq's, coincide with a force 9 with horizontal rain!

Found a nice spot for the Cornish BBQ, how about Polemmet?
I think it’s just down the coast from Venemmet? And it's only around the corner from Porthemmet!!
Gutshot you got any thoughts?:):):)

I know there are a least a couple of buddies still hunting in these cold waters! Had planned to go on a road trip to surf this weekend but surf forcast looks poor. Still good conditions for spearing if it was mid August! If I am tempted whats in the kelp, other than Seals (and can I check again when the mating season is?!)
 
It's just a thought but we're a pretty fragmented bunch of spearo's around Cornwall and i can sometimes go a whole season without bumping into anyone else. I've been on this forum a while now and know a whole buch of good people that i've never actually met.

Would anyone else be up for a Cornwall summer spearo bbq to put a few names to faces and enjoy doing what we all like, namely eating lots of fresh fish, drinking some cold ones and chatting about spearfishing?




Count Me in....The sooner some dates get banded about the better- as the same with Podge- weekends are my busiest times.
If the venue had access for a camper/motorhome that would be smashing as one does not lay up with the riff raff from over the border.
Max.
 
Folks,

Am just starting out and have tons of questions re: kit, techniques, dive spots etc.

I live in Cornwall and would happily spring for a few beers if anyone is up for a meet & chat.
