If your down that way Ocifant (or anybody else) and you want to meet up then let me know.
You've not mentioned dates. I'm there for a week from the 13th, based just outside Penzance, so could certainly meet up for any of the Penwith stuff, especially if you're not sure of how to get to places.

I've got my own itinerary for the week, which involves a lot of driving (my partner is unable to walk far, so we tend to drive around a lot), but can always make room for a meet!

I'd suggest you group the sites you want to visit into areas, and make a plan, but don't try to fit too much into each day - that's always my mistake and I end up amending or discarding the plan on the hoof! :-) It's easy to drive around, but the walking to sites does actually take time - for instance, there's a great circular walk, taking in Men an Tol, Men Scryfa, Nine Maidens of Boskednan, Bosiliak Barrow and Lanyon Quoit, but it takes a good couple of hours just to get round, let alone enjoy the sites!

And once you have planned it all out, don't forget to check what else is in the area - you'd hate to miss a doozy!!

Plan, research, plan and re-plan - that's my approach :-)

"You've not mentioned dates"

And this is why I need a holiday, I got a memory like a one of those whatchamacallits with the holes in ;o)

I arrive at Redruth on the 13th also and will be in the area until Saturday morning.
Truth is I haven't been to any of these places before which is the main reason for getting a bit of info off those who know the area. I do have a couple of the Explorer OS maps of the area so that should help, but there is nothing like experience.
I am hoping to visit a couple of places around Bodmin on the way there and a couple on the way back, but like you said, I don't want to over do it.
As I normally carry a bit of photographic equipment about I tend not to walk to far myself (being a bit overweight doesn't help either!!)
If you want to meet up somewhere that would be great, but I appreciate you will be busy.
I'll go away and come up with a plan of attack and see if we have any dates in common.

Cheers

Chris
