A Day Out - Friday 19th April

We had a Telegraph Promotional meal voucher which would soon be out of date so had to find somewhere that would take it on a Friday. The Haven Bar and Restaurant at Lymington Marina could take us so off we went. We had a good meal for £5 each and managed a walk from the marina afterwards.
The first photo is on the edge of the marina and the second of two Isle of Wight ferries about to crash (they didn't).
Did you hear this week of all the postage stamps that had to be pulped because they had spelt Wight 'White' - a collectors items if you could get hold of one! I've just checked this is correct click this





On the way home we did four geocaches. This photo is at the second one - St. Leonards tithe barn which was on one of the Granges attached to Beaulieu Abbey (now the National Motor Museum). To the left you can see a mare and her two newly born foals.



The last geocache was at Buckler's Hard, this is where Nelson built some of his major warships. The houses are where the workers lived.



This is where the warships would have been slipped into the water, notice the scooped out bit.
The geocache here took us along the banks of the Beaulieu River, a very beautiful area.
Note at the top right corner of the Blog page my Geocache counter - 500 is very close!
