Workshoppers make their way to our corner of Cornwall in all sorts of ways; Matt did what many do and drove down, taking the scenic A303 and diverting off to visit his parents in Somerset before driving the last leg to Cornwall on Sunday evening and finding his way to his Airbnb. He woke up early on Monday morning to go for a run along the coast path here at Porthtowan and familiarise himself with this stretch of coast, and used his car during the week to head off and surf each morning before making his way to the workshop.
Nick may be a first though in how he travelled here, having made his way to Paddington railway station on Sunday evening (despite the risk of post-rugby match crowds near his home in Twickenham delaying his journey into central London) and boarding the sleeper train to Cornwall. This Great Western Railway service, romantically named The Night Riviera Sleeper, leaves London at ten to midnight and Nick was able to sit in the bar carriage and enjoy a drink as the lights of the city and then the suburbs slipped by outside the window.
