where were you all going?
Whilst driving from Plymouth to Lands end then round the north coast last weekend, we saw no less than 24 Bongos. This was in sharp contrast to a week in Wales where we only saw 3. Why?

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Kirsty beat me to it. Bongo Fest South West at Looe. 15 - 19 September. There are stragglers probably still on their way home
Cornwall and camper vans are a perfect match anyway. I spotted my first Bongo outside the Tate in St Ives, them spotted about twenty more in Newquay and realised what a brilliant idea they were.

Re: where were you all going?
There are a lot of us about!!! On the 3/4 mile walk to school, we see six (four going to my son's school, one going to the school next door and lately a very, very white new shape Bongo going somewhere or other!). I suppose it's seven if you count mine! On a normal 24 mile round trip in any of three directions (yep, everywhere is twelve miles from us), I can see anything up to 11.

Conversely, I only saw two on the way to Looe and one on the way home but there were indeed a great many of us present both before, during and after the weekend.
I most sincerely hope whoever it was that you saw waved vigorously

Re: where were you all going?
i normally see at least 7 or 8 (not the same ones over and over) around the area on any given day. earlier in the year on a return trip to stafford i only saw 2 on the whole journey , once out of cornwall! per head of population we must have a very high percentage of bongo owners down here?
