Suppose the event is at Tregenna Castle. Cannot see the leaders arriving by 150 at St Ives. Probably fly to Newquay then helicopter to the resort.

Protesters are what makes the choice of venue an act of genius, probably. It will be very easy to keep anyone who hasn't washed at arms length, with anyone wearing buffalo horns held at the Tamar Bridge, or the border post at Meddon.

I have removed the long-standing provision day out for 26th June from this thread - holding off for a date as and when things are totally open.    Not stopping me make limited trips out though, if I have time!
