Post by: olly-civic on June 19, 2007, 12:10:53 AM
well decided to go away for the week both me and my lady had booked off, the day we were leaving she made funny jokes such as why dont we go in my car (all being a 1.4 206) she said it would be more comfortable and we\'d see more as its higher up (later that day on the radio we heard about a plane landing with one engine to which she looked confused and asked why it wouldnt fly around in a circle....) anyway after filling the tank and heading soulth our 1st stop was at my auntie and uncles in blanford fourum had somthing to eat and headed for the coast, we arrived in durdle door about tea time put up the tent and went the pub, back from the pub went to sleep... wake up in the morning to find an albertross has use the rex as target practice, id never seen anything like it it was covered, so i made claire wash it and then walked down to the beach

came back thru wales paid 5.10 to cross the bridge neer bristol which i thought was a tad steep and they dont take cards so had to turn round down some side lane and go to the services, had a nice time and the rex didnt miss a beat.

Excellent. Your Rex looks sweet. The beach on the first photo looks like somewhere almost tropical. Did you go for a dip?

Looks wrong. How can our water be so clear. I can see the bottom and there\'s SAND instead of pebble/gravel. Hmmmm, might have to take a trip down there with my fly rod as the waves aren\'t too rough.

Did you see fish there? Also, it is actually a crescent right rather than some super wide angle lens on your camera, lol.

Cheers

Van
