Hey KieranKJ

I used to live in Tamworth, just a stones throw from you. My mum still lives in Exhall, a little closer to you.

There is a guy I think that lives Nuneaton way who surfs, drives a pretty cool T4 Black van, seen it many times over Coventry way, near the airport.

Good to see Midland surfers. I live in St Ives now, opposite Porthmeor so thats my local break now. Failing that, I head to Gwithian, just outside Hayle.

I know a guy called Adam who's also a Midlands surfer, he lives Sutton Coldfield.

You get to surf much? Where do you surf?

The idea of being 'land locked' finally ate away at me too much so I had to follow the call of the sea. Work in a surf shop in St Ives too so my life is dedicated to the love of surfing now. My girlfriend now offically calls herself a 'surf widow'. I think there may be more of them out there too!

Take it easy.

Sage.

It was just a case of coming down to Cornwall & checking out local estate agents etc around the area's.

We had decided to settle in St Ives so we concentrated in that area.

There are places available, you'll be looking to pay around £600 per month upwards depending upon the type & size of accomadation your looking for. There are a few adds occationally of people looking for room mates, so thats something that might be worth thinking about.

When you come down to Newquay, check out a local paper called 'The Cornish Man'. It comes out every Thursday. It has property to let as well as jobs available.

Also, check out a website called 'This is Cornwall'. Google it, its a job search engine which has many jobs on offer, thats how I found my first job.

Its a foot in the door once you've secured a job, you can then look around for something different if its not working for you, but atleast you'll have a regular wage coming in.

Wages in this area aren't the best compared to up country, but its the quality of life you'll have that'll shine through.

I've never looked back! I occationally go back to the Midlands to visit friends & family, but as for moving back to the Midlands, thats something I'll never do!

I hope this has helped you out, if there are any other questions or queries you have, just let me know, I'll try my best to help you out.

We never really had anyone helping us out when we decided on the move so I can appreicate how hard & frustrating it can be. But stick at it buddy!! If its something you want bad enough, it'll happen. Promise!

Sage.

thanks I really appreciate the advice. Not many people give it these days. I'll definately check out the paper and the website. Accomodation is the main thing im worried about. but if it doesn't work this time, I gues I'll have to come home and work to get some cash. Glad your living your dream though you've done well

cheers

KJ
