Hello grandma


I'm feeling stroppy

Tea!


My favourite poppy seed rolls. This should impress bibi's mum...

Corfe castle



Live Hay'd.


Met two couples also trying to visitTyneham. One was a keen cricketerand coincidentally has recently played at brockhampton but he isn't aware of the elusive potential live Hay'd. Band stand.

So near and yet so far


Tyneham is in the dip!

This isn't going well...


One of the attractions of heading this way was to visit Tyneham. Guess which month offers no public access...

Lulworth castle


They're all money grabbers here. Tried to stop at durdle door them Lulworth cove but was forced into over priced car parks patrolled by eager clampers so decided not to take chances. Now tucking into butties at Lulworth castle in the only patch of shade in the car park. Admission fee 8.50 - i won't be going in!

Wife has a cosy bunk...


....and home comforts: Husband sleeps out in the rain on an airbed.

My least-favourite job


Yuck!

No escape from the canoe



A lazy evening


With the awning attached, we can't go anywhere. There's little else to do in the rain other than... have an early night and catch up on some kip!

Supper time



Ooops!


There's supposed to be a porch at the front. We've fitted it the wrong way round.

Getting there



Taking shape



It's strenuous work erecting tents



T shirts available from


A very reputable online store...

Back to basics


It's a long time since either of up have erected a tent. In the case of this awning, it's been stored in the loft for 3 years. We have no idea what we're aiming for or what it's supposed to look like...

A joint camping trip


... That nearly wasn't. Just a few miles from home we very nearly turned back and this remained the pattern throughout the drive.
