    Fun fact for you all:
    The term "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was a marketing phrase used by Kellogg's. For most of history we have only eaten two meals a day and life was way harder than it is now.
    Kellogg's have been a major player in pushing the narrative that we should eat there meals a day, breakfast being the most important of those meals.
    It's actually better for us to eat two meals a day as we have still not developed the metabolism to deal with eating three meals a day.

      @@liam1666 What you have to bear in mind is that they are elite athletes. So the amount of calories they are burning will be way higher than your average person.
      I do a lot of cycling and if I go on a massive ride there's no way I'm eating two meals a day as an example.

    Great as always. I like you and many others, dont understand the UK general aversion to campers and Van life. We bring much needed tourist funds, and, like you often do, leave the area we are staying in, in better shape than when we arrived. Campers are not cheap, the time and effort to convert one, or to buy one off the shelf only to find you are then restricted basically everywhere you go. That gentleman, who showed you around and the business he works for have the right idea. Until next week......

    Lovely lake ... I've seen glimpses of it from the A30 - you really can't see how big it is from the road!
    I've mostly noticed the much smaller lake to the north of the A30 (which used to be just after the dual carriageway ended on Bodmin Moor, with separate carriageways cut through the rocks so you had something to look at in the queue!) - you now swoop down into the valley and don't see as much as you are going faster since that part of the A30 has been upgraded.
    Like most of Cornwall, it's far prettier with a much better pace once you have left the A30!
    Great to see you enjoying Cornwall (in the rain!) and the wildlife it has to offer (even though they all ran away!) - hope you shake your cold off soon.

    Colliton lake is my usual stop off when driving down to Cornwall. You can get a T5 under the hight restrictions, but if you have a roof rack, not sure. Never anyone but the odd dog walker, or people just sat in there cars. Can't stay over night in the carparks, but would be good if you could. Never anyone swimming, which is odd. Love it for a stop off.

    The issue with campervanning/wild camping ect is a lack of education. The vast majority are considerate and leave little to no waste but the minority ruin it for everyone else. So, as you do, "they" make rules that punish everyone instead of singling out the bad ones, which just so happens to benefit the wealthy locals in these idyllic spots... To some extent it's a class issue, and I get it, if you've had to work hard your whole life to pay for a beautiful house you don't want louts scruffing the area up, but at the end of the day we are all equal and deserve to enjoy ourselves.

    No Grockles or Emmetts? I wish I was back home in Cornwall, Wiltshire or Salisbury more so is overrun with them!

    Do you run your fryer off an inverter or from your anker?
