The Foggy Camel Cycle day out

Well, its another day out wioth my sister, 3 years later we decide to do this, its great in some ways and also expensive with others but we do go to places that are slightly higher price in bits and pieces. But enjoy the vlog below:

Insert vlog here

The Chaotic morning. 


So, we begin by being up awake at 7:30 to check the usual social and messages, nothing too much, but i ended up oversleeping due to fapping. oops, so my sister arrived by 8:50, well she was shocked that I didn't get up, so i did shortly and then got changed and also got the phone system changed so they redirect to the Mobile. But then it was 9:20 and we were ready to leave, with the car ready, glass with me and then i realised that I had the keys from work with me so I had to hand them back to the shop before leaving, which did make delays and eventually we were finally off to Wadebridge.

The chats were nice, more about work and time off and drama on both sides for the most part, that and memories like when the weather used to be good when we visited here as kids. 

The A30 down there

Heading into Bodmin

Time to Bike it

So, we managed to get into the car park behind lidl and it was actually quite spacious, we found a space and then sister decided to use the app to pay £5.00 for all day parking, which is great, so we made our way to Bridge Bike Hire, since its RIGHT next to the trail and actually its the cheapest in Wadebridge. So we had no queue to wait and went to the desk and a nice rep chatted, so i said 2 hyrbid bikes and then we tried a couple, well since she was short, she needed a 17" so we had to go to the store for more bikes, it was a couple of doors down. Which then we found a comfortable one for her and then we walked back to the desk and filled out the form. So it came to TOTAL of 27, which included a £2 discount. That was fine but i was a bit meh, but its not often so i paid on card. But then we got the puncture kits and she had a helmet, Once the lock and tags were on, we were set. 



The two bikes, mine on the right and hers on the left. 

We were then on route, actually nope since a sewage truck was on the way. So after that it was time to cycle on, it was not bad with about 30 minutes or so on the mi fit, but she was puffing away, then again she only had 1 set of gears, a basket and a bell when i had 2 sets of gears, a bag and no working bell. But When i was cycling, it was slightly unsteady, well i could feel handling was something I could get used to over time, but not for one day. Though I didn't slip up. She was also looking like a gammon partly, well minus the tory part and middle aged part.

The distance

Then we got there by 12. A few bikes were parked, so we parked near and locking it was slightly odd with the two lock system.

Misty Views



The browse around. 

So, after we got packed up, we started to walk to the centre of Padstow, with crowds, crepes and lobster hatcheries, we got there. But so many ideas from the small things in Stein's Deli, to handcrafted gifts, amazing HDR photography in card frames and even pug merchandise. The views were good even with some misty rain as well. It was funny as we walked up one backstreet, some girl jumped into this 4x4 since she knew the guy and hitched a lift, that and we went in spar and she got a knock off Orange Crush, that was £0.79, which then we walked down to the centre again and it was time to get some Fish and Chips. Also Ann's Cottage is still expensive af

Lunch and selfies

Well, we went to the most popular one and this was by 12:30, which you know, the Padstow Fish and Chip Cafe, they were empty on the queue for the Takeaway, so we went for it. She had Fish and Chips, Curry Sauce and I had Batter Sausage and Chips. The total came to £13.40, which is okay, slightly pricey but it was about £6 each and £1.40 for curry sauce from the guessing. But when i sprinkled the salt on, it might of been too much.
The food for £13.40, only mine was shown. 


Then we decided to find a spot to eat it, it turns out we went out to the same place as last time and it was quite a nice view, with a nice amount for both of us. But she poured it since it was really runny so i only had drips, but that was okay since she let me dip chips on her fish. But that was a really tasty minus salty lunch.


The car Parks

The view for lunch


Then we decided to get the selfie stick out, she did a selfie and i did one, shes liked the Redmi 4 better than her iphone 7.


The selfie of us both

Then we walked our way to a bin and she went to a doghouse shop and I was supposed to go toilet, but since the gents was 100m away, I had to find them which was tricky, but in the end we both walked to the toilets near the revamped mini golf and that was a load of fun in itself. 

The mini golf revamped

So, last time the classic golf was fun and always has its moments. But this revamped course was unique in some ways but too related, So we got up there, saw a lift appear, which is a new touch, Then we saw the entrance to the resturant, now the building is 2 stories, its plenty more cafe room but that menu was PRICEY. Which means they are aiming for the high rollers. But then we waited for rep to come out and sister paid the £6.00 each which then we got to enjoy the course. But there scorecards we missed and also it turns out I did win between me and her.

But the course was full of mini ideas, bridges, tyes and poles. Some ideas were creative but it was not the full creative I hoped in a way, but some were very lumpy in ways. Which worked for it to make it much trickier, but between us, we finished it in about an hour.


More views on the course

Nice poles

More Selfies



Once that was done, we decided to go to the beach.

The cloudy beach visit

So, it was time to walk to the beach, with plenty of views of people, pugs and also the beach. It was a quiet walk, we chatted about things and there were alot of sailing boats on the estuary.  But minus people saying thank you not, we got down to the beach and then we sat before I went to the sea to dip my feet in the sea. It was quite nice and refreshing, the sand was quick.

The return for smoothies

We then walked about after about half hour of exploring and relaxing, it was quite nice, a bit of spitty rain was upon us but it dried up, which was good. But you think on how busy this place was, it was heaving and then we had to search the streets for smoothie to buy, which the only thing that had decent smoothies, which when we were looking, i had 2 phone calls, luckily i managed to answer them with glass but one call everything felt a bit disconnected. But eventually the shop below the hill at north quay had a nice Raspberry Heaven smoothie, no yogurt, just Raspberry, Apple, Mango and Blueberry. Those were £3.95 each that my sister bought for us. But i did buy 2 drinks for £1 in spar for the way back. But this ssbbw mentioned to us about a food festival in the village hall, she reminded me of someone i used to work near a few years back, but we thanked her and picked up the smoothies and headed off.

The smoothies didn't last long but we walked our way to the village hall, its the memorial hall we past but didn't realise it until we headed back to the bikes.

A taste and present purchase

We managed to get there and walked in, it was quite busy but full of traders, well only 6 since its a tiny place but still. From liqueurs, chutney, cheese and fudge too. We tried some fudge and I tried some chilli and black onion chutney, Which was nice and after she tried tea, we got some fudge and i was 3 packs for £7.00 which is £2.50 per pack, well 1 was reduced to £2 in the bundle, but it was fine. 


Heading towards the village hall



Then we made our way back to the bikes, but before we did was a last check at Stein's Deli, which eventually some ideas for mum's birthday came into play, which after seeing the bubbly I had on Sunday and then some resin oil which smelt lovely of sea salt, I decided to make a bundle for the £19.00 mark, which was £15 for the Resin kit and £4 for the bottle of elderflower Bubbly. Now that was me spent out, so we decided to go back to the car by biking it back

A quicker cycle back

So, we eventually got back to the bikes and managed to unlock it and also get back the things into the bags. Then sister started to cycle off without me and I caught up, but then it was me feeling fast and cycled right past people and she was almost long gone, well I did slow down. But it also felt nice with the sun starting to shine out and it was looking like a nicer evening if you were a tourist in the area. But this time, we ended up cycling back in 26 minutes, over 3 minutes quicker than we did on the way there. Which was odd. But she was feeling exhausted, but that was from the low gears. 

Heading back

Clearing up

Wider views
We finally got back and I filmed her arriving. Like she wanted ish, well a picture of her on the bike but hey, screencaps. But then we returned the bikes, the older rep took them and was asking how we got on, very polite and also showed him the paper, but he took it and said, "thats all then" which we both decided to walk back to the car, the sun was slightly out and well, it was time to leave this area again. 



The carboot of ghosts

So, we decided to go back to a garden centre before we headed off, we were on the A39 Route but she got confused, but before that, we passed up the bumpy hill and it said by the Football club, "Car boot, doors open 2pm", so the signs were out, and we drove to it, well the signs were still there and gates open, we drove up to it and well, no one was there, abandoned, like all packed up, but it was odd. So we turned around and drove to Trelawny. 


The carboot that was closed


Memories of a Garden Centre

This garden centre was a part of my old childhood, kid you not. But we got there and parked up before we decided to make our way in, it was nearing 4:30 at the time so not long until their day is done. But it was quite expanded with new chairs, outdoor bars (to buy to have in your garden) and even more clothes. But the place felt the same as it always has been with the train in the roof and the cafe the same place. But there was a fair bit of new layouts, no play area and no access to the fish pond now too. Then after looking at statues, we saw some cards and also a recipe book tin and looked at it and my sister was going to get it for mum's birthday, which worked nicely. it was only £15 and she can add something else to it to match my value. Then we headed out and saw the Koi, some big fish in that tank was a true story, one looked like a mini black shark as well.

Heading into Trelawny 


The Koi in the Tank

The U turn home

So, we decided to go to the A39 route back since she works at newquay daily. Which was great but it also felt a long detour, but with some queues, some roundabouts she could of turned left on and passing the showground and Camel Creek, it felt nostalgic at the same time. But chatter was there, which then she asked about things like holidays and then love life, which I did tell her about zara but then she asked "is this the girl your paying for child support on" I said not and she made me swear 100%, which actually it was never that in the 1st place, but she is someone I'm seriously meeting up with. But sister said "Couldn't you find someone closer and your age" which she was a bit dense with that. I mean i understand her point but local hasn't gotten me anywhere this far. She also said about going to Torquay, which i said Brixham which technically to meet someone else but Roo hasn't really agreed to anything yet :/. 

Heading back


Then we were heading over Bodmin Moor, the rain was heavy and it felt like return to normality, which in a way it was but also it was something that made me wish i had more time to explore, but thats for the future. Then it was Launceston and back on the road to tavi and talking memories before it was the gulworthy road and back home. 

The views on the moor

The windy roads back


The home and visit. 

By about 6:15, we were home and it was back to normal, so we unpacked and chatted to parents, which then it was time for me to visit this customer that called me twice since of her internet playing up. Which when sister left, we did and well, I managed to sort that issue out after getting filters and testing sockets. But by 7:30, I was finished. 

And that was that, hope you enjoyed the posts and hopefully new things will be happening soon. Maybe exclusive to the blog.

a camel bike ride #through glass

so then, it was another planned vlog, this time me and my sister were going to enjoy and bike the camel trail. I woke up around 9:15 after a fap and the usual internet checking, it was funny to see Aries playing or even licking a Morrison's plastic bag, vt after getting the solar changer, my glass cable and my sister's iPhone cable, as well as the bikes placed into the car, we were leaving before 10 anyway :)




Heading on the way and nearing a pub that i went to a few times in my younger years

Nearing Wadebridge, YAY

Padstow was the place to bike it to

We got to wadebridge about 11:10 and after paying £5 for parking for 24 hours and getting the bikes out, we were off and a nice half hour bike ride.There was alot of people and we did stop by the rocky part and take a very short break, which was nearby a mini stand which i'll talk about later.

By 11:45 we made it to the harbour side of padstow, we parked on the bikelock and then after a toilet break, we walked our way inward, seeing shoe s, hops and rick stein's buildings we saw products and chatted alike, but gift ideas for father's day was being planned. Some very taste food ideas were shown too.

Water Jugs were for sale

This cracker with the pear flavour was sort of nice

Then by 12:40 we ordered a nice bit of takeout which for emma was cod n chips for me was a burger and chips for around the same price.This included water, fanta orange mayo and curry sauce, which cost me £16.45 and the wait was around 20 minutes or less.

Time for some Golf of the Crazy Variety


Then we walked our way to the crazy golf, sure this was £4 for each of us and it was actually pretty fun and glass was showing how good we sort of both were. I got a few hole in ones and she mostly got 2 or 3s. Also one of the course the first time i missed but the second time it went straight in and also another one was quite fun with the hole in the middle. By 2:15 we had finished and were walking our way to the beach.

Looking back at the courses

Beating my sister by 2 points bettween each other in total
Eventually we finished and I won by 2 points then we walked our way to the beach, the path was wider but I nearly slipped, but then we chillaxed and then I dipped my feet in the water. it was cold, so much so that my feet went purple. then I left glass on charge and typed this up. then we left the beach at 2:45 then got in town very shortly after 3. 

My feet in the water, they look purple

Then we walked around and organising was what we did and eventually I bought a farthers day gift worth £8.97 and my sister bought a old guys rule cap and a blonde bbw served us, she had a cute smile and lovely arms. then we went to but 250g of fudge forca £5. that was nice I got caramel and peanut butter and sis got marzipan and lemon meringue, the person who served us was quite abrupt in general, then we walked our way back to our bikes, looking for smoothies, but sadly we didn't find one.As we were unpacking bikes from the parking, there was this drunk group and some stoned, it was funny her still drinking and about to cycle back, me and sis left at 3:55.


Unlocking the bike
The bike ride was clean, but we stopped halfway for drinks and it was a nice £1.50 for a can of this unique brand which was a apple fizzy drinks, it tasted like tango apple but with a bit more sorbet. also the chap was nice and asked about glass, he was almost interviewing me about it, but he thought we were racing each other and joked about a £20 bet. after we paid and thanked, we enjoyed the drink and cycled on.
More afternoon views

Trying a new drink that cost me £1.50 its called Suso, it like Tango Apple but more soberty/sugary

We made it back

Then we got back to wadebridge lidl by 4:30 and it was still warm, but we tried to fit both bikes back in the car, it took us 10 minutes after some trying. but we left by 4:45 and were heading back home , we think OK the Bodmin and liskeard route back, which was OK. Sure, we had to pull over to check if a jumper was lost, it was in the back, but it was nice to take the a38 back. eventually we passed into tesco to top up some fuel.then we got home about 6 which was good timing. Then a roast chicken for tea was a nice meal to end the day...

Leaving Wadebridge :/

A nice roast dinner to have

So that was a cool summer vlog before e3 and hopefully some more like these might happen soon, definitely if i get lucky with a girlfriend we could do something like this but with the kissing and holding hands and maybe feeding and cuddling, but for now, sometimes family time is a good thing to have.
