How far is Helston ?
I found this hotel there and I just called them. They have 20 doubles and 1 single available. The single is at the price of the double, so I guess double rooms can have single occupancy. Out of the 20 doubles, there are 15 doubles at £72 per night per person which includes dinner bed and breakfast, there are 5 doubles (superior with sea view) at £84 per night/per pers incl dinner.

Can we have a hands up who's coming count to get an idea of the number we are looking at?
Great location for this get together. My absolute favourite! Just the 10 trips in 2008...
Numbers are currently looking too high for my suggestion of seeking somewhere to stay in Marazion. I use the Mount Haven Hotel when running the Light and Land workshop. They are popular and rightly so. Food and service are superb. Alternative is the Godolphin Arms which is right on beach with St Michael's Mount opposite.
Fully concur with the locals - Neil and Bill, that distances are relatively small, but can be slow if travelling during middle of the day, when the 'scenic' drivers are out. Traffic in St Ives is a hassle except for a dawn shoot! Personally I find that the very far west offers the best locations, Godrevy being an exception well worth visiting. A weekend will be a struggle, but there are so many locations to visit. Not many will accommodate a big group though.... so some co-ordination is advised.
Logistically, sunset time will potentially impinge on evening meals.
Currently I'm not in a position to commit to attend, but will visit the thread from time to time.

Thanks Neil, if you give me a list of suitable hotels, I don't mind calling them all up.
Neil, it does look ideal.
We do need somewhere we all can say togather
and
We need somewhere that has some excess capacity so may-bees like me can book up nearer the time

Let's hope your lucky with the Atlantic Hotel on Monday Neil?

Barry, I shall be visiting the Queens hotel in Penzance and the Atlantic hotel in St Ives to see what I can obtain on Monday. Whilst I am in Penzance I will have a cruise about to see if I can find anywhere that I've missed.
Another possibilty is a large good quality B&B in Penzance (nice position) with 9 rooms. I have spoken to the lady there and she was very obliging. The premises also has a sister B&B four doors away with seven rooms and the lady told me any over-spill could go there. I shall keep this one up my sleeve for the moment but may put it to the group if I have no luck on Monday.
Neil.
Hi Neil,
Please can you add me to the list? This looks like a good trip.
