We both have aching legs this morning so nothing strenuous today methinks. After breakfast we decided to have a look at the old town area after having passed an interesting half-timbered building on the way back on the bus yesterday so we walked up there. There is very little left of interest in the old [...]

Down South – Day 2 – Friday 25th Sept.
29 September 2009 at 4:13 pm 1 comment
We woke to another sunny day so the prospects for today's planned walk look good! After breakfast we walked out of our hotel at 9:15 and down to the seafront by the Wish Tower where we turned west. We had about a mile to walk along the seafront before we reached the footpath on the [...]
Down South – Day 1 – Thursday 24th Sept.
28 September 2009 at 4:06 pm No comments
We left home in the morning on a gloriously warm sunny day heading for the Sussex Coast. Our first stop, however, was to be Battle (1066 and all that!) and they have some peculiar parking arrangements in Battle. The abbey has its own car park for which you have to pay and you have to [...]

The Winton Train

Today saw us toddle off to our nearest station to watch the Winton Train pass though travelling from Harwich to it's final destination – London. Winton Train web site One of the reasons we went was to see 'Tornado', the locomotive pulling the train, because we haven't seen it 'in the flesh' before and because [...]
