An amazing county almost in itself. I used to sit by the working lighthouse and watch the beam go out :)

We were camping at golden cap and had had a day out. b in law was driving and decided that was where we were going on the way back to the site, even if it was dark. He wanted to see the lighthouse so thats what we did. in the dark. :(

Hehehe. First time I went to Golden Cap they were having the annual service in the abandoned church. Love that whole area.

That was daft wasn't it? Watch the beam go out? No wonder you guys think I'm nuts. I meant watch the light shine out over the sea. I knew what I meant :)

As you pass Portland heights and start descending southwards you go out of mobile signal, I was surprised to get a text "welcome to France"

I used to walk the dogs at Golden Cap nearly very week, then it became too much a working spaniel, working lab and 2 very errant terriers had me both physically and emotionally spent, trying to find lost terriers, then l would lose the other two and it would go like that. I still love the view of it if I drive down into Lyme with Chesil Beach and Portland in the distance :-)

Ooooh what fun. I should have taken Jack more often. He disappeared in a bramble patch on Stonebarrow

Eeeeeeassshhhh I didn't like walking at Stonebarrow as I met an adder sunning itself there once and I am terrified of snakes, so I never went back.. have you ever tone the Branscombe to Beer walk, that's great, once you've climbed the step slope and the you get amazing views right the way down to Star Point. I prefer the Beer to Branscombe as it is a downhill which very oddly I can cope better with :o :-)

Stay on the A35 and after you have passed Axminster, my cottage is way down in a valley to the right of the road :-) I'm so lucky, I live in a very beautiful place :-)
