The Split Screen Van Club

Hi All, I’m down in Cornwall on a beautiful tranquil family friendly campsite between St Agnes and Perranporth “Crosscombe Farm”. It’s run by a lovely couple Fred & Glynis, Fred as a 65 Westy and a 79 Bay and will talk all day about Volkswagens which we were doing one evening the next thing I know h...
