I am currently sat at Trethem Mill near St Mawes and we all here have an interesting dilema. I with 4 or 5 others have to leave on Thursday.
For those that have been here the entrance as you know is tricky for weaker drivers but is easy enough with care. Enough to state its known colloquially as the passage of doom and many have come to grief on it.
However, Cornwall Highways have closed it for repairs to a drain meaning we have to exit the site the opposite way on the lane. Its narrow to say least, with some vicious bends along its length. Not only narrow but enough sharp branches and brambles protruding that you cannot even get the car down without rubbing the sides. Overhanging branches way lower than a caravan roof add to the issues. Can i get up the lane.....yes. can I do it without damage occuring.....debatable.
Question is, if i get any damage what can i realistically do about it.
