Does Adrenalin Quarry Live Up To Its Name?

  A few weeks ago my girlfriend and one of my besties headed up to Liskeard to spend the afternoon at Adrenalin Quarry. We partook of two of their attractions the Zip and the Giant’s Swing. The Zip measures 490m long and is a whopping 50m high, meaning that when you go down you hit speeds of 40mph.

Camping In Padstow

  I’ve just returned from an awesome mini camping trip to Padstow in my VW T4. I don’t want my van to be a full on conversion as I use it for carrying all kinds of stuff and don’t want to waste the space with sinks and fridges. What’s great about my T4 is that you can easily remove the rear seats and then have the entire rear of the van empty. The back of the van will then easily…
