Morning campers, Going to have a beer in Beer today, should be there by 10.00 am & within tent fer ,midday. I wanted to see the old tanker that ran aground but heard yesterday they had re-floated it. only stopping one night, only so much mud I can put up with !

           Let you know about it if I get back 

Hi Julie, got back about an hour ago " cream crackered ", spent the night at a farm campsite, just a field, & a thunderbox. Had a good time though, driving around a bit of Devon I am not familiar with, & just far enough into Doset to visit Lyme Regis. They have indeed re-floated the Napoli, & is now about 3/4 of a mile offshore. Trouble is, as quick as they are pumping water out of one end, it's filling up through a split in the other. I was told that welders are trying to repair it underwater, but the seaweed is doing what seaweed does at this time of year, & turning the sea into a pea souper !. I think they want to repair it enough, so they can safely tow it to the graveyard, but no one wants it in their backyard.

I did have a beer in Beer, & then found an offy that sold Elderflower wine, I took full advantage of this, & slept very, very, well 

Ok Jewels, I hope you have a nice time, don't fall in the river ( I would  ) catch ya on the next one.
