Isle of Portland
24 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Spent the morning finishing off a few things on the van, as the fridge that was due a month ago only arrived yesterday! Then just a short 3 hour drive to Portland Bill (the lighthouse). A fish supperЧитать далее
Bridport

Down from the rock that is Portland Bill you are straight onto Chesil Beach. Interesting demo about how sea creatures adjust their buoyancy but compressing the air in their shells/bodies, then aЧитать далее
Parish car park
26 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
A couple of miles down the coast was Golden Cap - the highest point on the UK coast at a whopping 191 metres! Of course it had to be climbed and it turned into a nice loop walk.
Lunch was in LymeЧитать далее
Lizard Point
27 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

From Lizard To Lands End
28 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A bit of a gray day today which curtailed our plans a bit.
We started with lunch (pasty of course!) at Mousehole (Mousal) with the main road weaving down tiny lanes between the houses.
Then on toЧитать далее
I Met A Man With 7 Wives...
29 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
I got a very puzzled look from Jo when I said that, who obviously didn't know about the 7 cats/sacks either!
A lovely day dictated a long coastal wander, punctuated with ice cream and cream tea, butЧитать далее
Wash Out
30 июня 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Heavy drizzle made today a bit of a wash out today, so we took the park and ride (train) into St Ives and whiled away the day.
Drove up to St Austell to an amazing pub which had about 20 large vansЧитать далее
Kasabian & Eden
1 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
Got to Grays Farm at lunch time and immediately walked down to Eden Project, as our gig tickets got us entry for two days. Amazing to think this place was a soon to be abandoned quarry and is now theЧитать далее
Beast Of Bodin
3 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Didn't get far this morning before I spotted a bakery, then I realised we were at Carclaze, which was mentioned in our Wild book. We did a quick tour of the 'Cornwall Alpes' before we headed on ourЧитать далее
Arthur's Tintagel
4 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
Another gray day so we decided to visit Tintagel, the mythical conception place of King Arthur. For once it wasn't owned by National Trust, but English Heritage so we stumped up the reduced membershipЧитать далее
Surprise Surprise
5 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
We drove another hour up the coast to surprise Jo's parents who were completing the South West Coast Path (after some 34 years!). We checked in the same site as them and then drove to their finishЧитать далее
Ramblers Rest
6 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Jo's parents set off again in the morning and we drove to their end point at Porlock. We walked back along the path and met them at the country's smallest parish church, which was a bit of aЧитать далее
Exmoor
7 июля 2023 г., Англия
After a windy night (it felt like we were on a yacht!) it was a beautiful morning so we walked down the valley away from the sea. A track led us to Cloud Farm, the most amazingly beautiful NTЧитать далее
End of the Road
8 июля 2023 г., Англия
The others were starting their final leg of the South West Coast Path (after some 34 years!) up near the campsite, so we met up and did the final few miles with them. The weather was very changeableЧитать далее
Stonehenge
9 июля 2023 г., Англия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Opted to avoid the motorway and take the scenic A303. Stonehenge made the perfect lunchtime stop over, despite the exorbitant £33 entry fee each. We'd been half forced into English HeritageЧитать далее
