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 supperWeiterlesen

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 aWeiterlesen

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.

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.

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 theWeiterlesen
