A ghostly trek to Jamaica Inn!

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Like many people I had I heard about the Jamaica Inn in the film based on the book written by Daphne du Maurier, but I didn’t know it was haunted until he told me. A couple of weeks later we saw it was on the TV show Most Haunted, and “wooohooo”, they featured room 5 which was our room booked! How exciting!

Bournemouth to Stonehenge, it’s raining!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

What a beautiful morning! Couch cough! It rained most of the night & here it was time to pack up & it still wont stop raining. We woke this morning to a nice puddle forming in the tent due to poor tent design.

The Horses of New Forest just wander around

Friday, July 10th, 2009

It was after 5pm that we finally made our way into new Forest, Holmsley, after a beautiful drive through some awesome countryside. No one was at the front office/shop, so we made our way around the caravan park looking for a camping pitch.

Having fun in the sun @ Brighton … What sun??

Even as you enter Brighton you can feel the holiday beachside atmosphere. Driving down the main drag it reminded me of being on a movie set. The grandeur of the buildings & the alfresco lifestyle all lent itself to being a great place to spend the summer holidays… that is of course if the sun actually shon!

Getting down & muddy @ Southdown Farm, Keyser
