Treen BBQ this weekend

Don’t forget this weekend is the annual Treen BBQ in sunny Cornwall. Wonderful climbing, sunny weather (I hope!), and a beach BBQ. You know it makes sense.

We stay at the southern Treen campsite (rather than the Treen in north Cornwall) near Porthcurno where the Minack theatre is. The best route from London is M4 to Bristol, then M5 South, etc. Drive into the village (a steep sharp left turn off the B road) and drive to the end of the road. Just before the road goes into a car park there is a shop on the left and a farm track on the right. Take the track and drive to where it takes a sharp left by a gate. The campsite is through the gate. We normally camp in the field on the right.

The BBQ is on Saturday night. Most people buy food in Cornwall after climbing on Saturday – the Penzance Tesco is not too far out of the way.

We walk along the coastal path to Porthcurno beach and BBQ there after the beach has emptied (and the lifeguard has left). Sometimes the (fool)hardy go swimming…
