Summer camping

This week end saw the first Freedom Democrat summer camp in a wind swept farm on the North Cornwall coast. My last camp would have been the infamous BNP summer camp in 2009. The camp of the golly burning so I am glad to report that there was no such incident at this camp and any under cover reporter would have found the whole event pretty un-newsworthy from a tabloid point of view.

What would have been seen is a friendly bunch of like minded political people catching up on personal news and discussing current political events in a way that would not offend even the most farthest left of political opponents.

Pictured one of the social tents with members relaxing.

It was not all politics though as some members travelling from further afield and not being familiar with the beautiful North Cornwall coastline took time out from politics to do some sight seeing.

First on the list was Port Isaac. TV Doc Marten fans will know this as the setting for the TV series. Sometime we can forget just how beautiful parts of England really are.

Up on the cliff 3rd cottage from the left is Doc Marten's surgery.

The next day a visit to Boscastle was a must to see the transformation post the 2004 great flood. (Video link)
