good on you Neil, i moved down here when i was 28, i moved down from Leamington spa, best move i ever made. just move to one of the main towns, i landed in st,Ives, you will soon find people like yourself (just down for a laugh) pal up, rent a house between you, plenty of seasonal work down here. why not set up on a campsite for a month or so, look around for a job and a room then. Newquay would be a good start, or st,Ives. Ive been here 17 years, surfing working and chilling, its a good life choice mate.

wow, sound advice, cheers. ill,be moving from stratford upon avon, just down the road from leam. its such a scary propersition to get my head round. sounds like a good idea. i was thinking newquay as there seems to be quite a young crowd about. could set up on one of the campsites for a while, find a job and a house to rent with some other like minded lads. best move you ever made?? surfing, working and chilling sounds like the perfect lifestyle to me. i might make a few trips down soon to check out whatjobs are about and renting prices etc. thanks a lot for the advice

First try to settle in your job first so that you can settle in a place which is comfortable to you...
