Wife has inconveniently run away with the car. On the plus side she's not back until tomorrow, so its a takeaway and beer for me tonight. She'll never know.

Well im back,and typical the weather turned! wet and chilly,plus for the scond time ive gone and broken my phone,my misses gives me her cast off's when she gets a new one,as im not particularly tech minded,i was out with Minstrel off the forum a few months ago, had phone in combat trouser pockets,sat on a rock to make a brew and broken the screen,new phone yesterday had it 2hrs and have done the same,so excuse the few pic's,which are also poor due to me getting there at last light.

Someone must have stayed here years ago,

and then the camera back in pocket which led to its death, weather changed overnight, i slept just under a U.S poncho in sleeping bag and bivi bag,where the grass met the shore, in the morning,went for a walk along the coast you can access 3 other beach's from here each get's more rugged.

Don't go ingesting any water this time! Have you heard from Stooboy or has he won the big one on the lottery?

Is that a different area you went to Andy , good ti see you oot again bud ...

You mean an area that doesn't require the ability of a mountain goat to get to? This one must be awkward as he went in by boat...

Yep a new beach,didnt get chance to take pic's of it though before phones death! Liam more Eagle than goat for access,and one with stamnia mucho stamina!(there's no track at all, and its rather high cliffs and vegation,hence being dropped off) i dont get the ingesting water bit? but ive not heard from stooboy or seen him for 1yr,last i heard he's loved up! Look forward to another trip out with you John,will keep you posted re Brother.

Ingesting water Andy; nose, mouth, hands, snorkeling... e coli mate!

Stooboy's loved up? When are we holding the wake? We'll need to stage a rescue!

Sounds like a great place to be shipwrecked, did you return by boat or climb/scramble out?

Liam should have told you i didnt get E-coli that way as ive had it again since back in January and along with that and many really really nice(not) test it was'nt through ingesting anything, to be fair to the Doc's though they still have no firm idea why,which gives me alot of confidence!( now down to two ideas) Stooboy, ive tried pm ing him a few times no response, it would be good to get the ''old team'' back together for a winter beach camp,but i think he's gone off radar,got picked up on way out.
