I have one...

On our way home from Cornwall last week after three hours of sitting in
traffic on the A30 in driving rain my wife and I decided to take a short
detour and find a place to have an early lunch. We took an exit and saw a
sign for Bodmin 2.5 miles and Helland 1 mile. So feeling fed up and tired
we took the shorter drive and hoped for a nice tea shop in Helland. Nice
Tea shop!! nothing, absolutely nothing at all, few houses a horse and some
trees. So we drove to Bodmin and found food and warmth.

So after being to Helland back we rejoined the traffic on the A30 and
rolled into Southampton sometime after 10:00pm:)

We have considered starting up nostalgic bus trips to Helland. No breaks and
constant lift music and cheesy sandwiches for a round trip from
Southampton - £200 a head.

'Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse - day trips to Helland,
we'll cheer you up:)'
