I have been to Land's End three times in my life, and every time I have had the official "selfie" next to the iconic signpost (NOTTINGHAM 346 if you are interested, even though most atlases say something like 326 miles). I mostly stayed in Penzance or Truro when I do. Last time I stayed in Truro so that I could see a musical at the Hall for Cornwall, ironically after the cast had been in my home town the week before! I went to Land's End twice on my birthday as well.
Lots of people do the "End to End" thing on bikes - they actually thought I arrived there on a bike because it was my birthday because I was dressed like a cyclist just for a bit of fun! It fooled them quite a bit though! I did manage to get "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" put on the sign where the local mileage bit usually is.
I just love that number 1 bus that goes from from Penzance bus station to Land's End which is an open top one, and getting to see about 11 miles of countryside in between.
It was great to see the tourist attraction advertised on West Cornwall bus shelters, and also on Westcountry region ad breaks as well. I love Cornwall, and wished that I could live down there - I even put my name down for housing down there, but I had no local connection so no luck there. If it wasn't for the Newlyn Fish Festival it would be for Land's End instead. I even got to John O'Groats once as well, and hardly anyone was there apart from some seagulls and fishermen.
Have any members visited Land's End and even had their picture taken next to the signpost?
