The BMW Hippo Rally had to be CANCELLED because of the DREADED LURGY. So, Sid Carland of Somerset, said let’s find a local campsite for the weekend

Our Sid in TROPICAL Cornwell.

Our campsite (KIT HILL) was once owned by the 

The Duchy of Cornwall: Home seems we are now very REAL ROYAL campers!

Time for stroll after a long ride to the next village of Kelly Bray

Our Somerset SID meets up with a not so LOCAL LAD in the PUB for a Cornish Happy Hour.

On our way back to the campsite the SUN is setting over Bodmin Moor.

That evening we dine in the Engine House Restaurant | Compton Park, Callington, Cornwall and by 20.00pm SLEEP is needed for the weary sidecar traveller.

After a very COSY night in my tent we ride next morning direction to the 

Hurlers Stone Circles | English Heritage

Sid practicing his HURLING SKILLS!!
