Isle of Portland
24 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ ☀️ 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 supper and a lovely little car park with views of the seas on all sides for the night. Took in a beautiful sunset then discovered that the what we thought was an abandoned prison actually currently Gary Glitter and other misfits!Leggi altro

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 a lovely stroll along the sand (pebble) bank.

Next stop was Abbotsbury Gardens for a stroll around the sub tropical gardens and some lunch (pasty of course!).

Late arvo was fossiling (fossicing according to Jo!) on Hive Beach before a couple of pints in the sun and a nice night on a CL site.Leggi altro

Parish car park
26 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ ☁️ 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 Lyme Regis (yes, another pasty!) then we mosied on down the coast. We struggled to find a decent camp spot so ended up in a small, quiet Parish car park which was a little underwhelming.Leggi altro

Lizard Point
27 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
We decided we had slipped back into slow travelling mode, so drove for a couple of hours into Cornwall today. There was an obligatory stop at Trago Mills (which is is a cross between Woolies, B&Q & Debenhams!) and stocked up on a few things for the van.

Then down to Lizard Point and a nice stroll along the cliffs. Despite it being cloudy it was still quite warm, so a rehydration stop was needed them on to a LOVELY camp site at Bos Iowen for a much needed hot shower and delicious bbq.Leggi altro

From Lizard To Lands End
28 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ ☁️ 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 to Minac Theatre, altho it was drizzling a bit and you got zero view of a the theatre unless you had prebooked tickets (surprise surprise we didn't!). The beaches in the coves were gorgeous though and we had a nice walk along the cliffs.

We were going to give Lands End a miss but we were only 4 miles away so it seemed silly to. It is a bit tacky now but glad we got our matching photo from our Scotland trip.

We spent the evening in a nice pub, and a quiet night in their car park.Leggi altro

I Met A Man With 7 Wives...
29 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌬 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, but also including a (brief) dip in the freezing sea.

Overnight at a nice CS site a bit back from the coast overlooking rolling fields.Leggi altro

Wash Out
30 giugno 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 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 vans on a grassy lawn, along with a kids game of football. Only condition of staying was to eat/drink in the pub, which we happily did!Leggi altro

Kasabian & Eden
1 luglio 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌬 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 the most incredible place. You wind your way down the old haulage roads ever deeper and feel the wind drop and the temperature rise. The two main domes are incredible, particularly the Rainforest one.

We headed out for a quick supper and to drop the dog before heading back down for the Kasabian gig. It was an amazing venue and they put on a great show.

A slightly slow start the next day, but headed back in and explored the rest of the site before a quiet night back at the farm with great views over the headlands.Leggi altro

Beast Of Bodin
3 luglio 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌬 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 our way.

Couldn't drive past Bodmin without going to the Gaol. There was a great immersive tour of this haunted place, including a hanging where the floor dropped an inch when they opened the hatch!

The weather brightened just as we past a turning for Rough Tor ('routor') and a narrow Lane delivered us onto Bodmin Moor. The stones on the Tor were too tempting not to be climbed, despite the gusting wind! The spot was so nice we spent the night there with the most incredible view.Leggi altro

Arthur's Tintagel
4 luglio 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 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 membership fee knowing we'd do well to break even.

It was an amazing location and an interesting visit, but like a lot of British historical sites they could have done a bit more with it. Still we managed a nice walk to the next outcrop and back without getting too wet.

That evening we found a gastro pub to spend the evening and had a delicious, posh fish supper.Leggi altro
