Welcome to Eastney Beach (and some trip stats)

Day Thirty-two

Welcome to Eastney Beach. Copyright © 2024 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

No trip back home to Portsmouth would be complete without a visit to the beach at Eastney — Ginger was getting her nails done, and I spent an hour on the beach and even went for a swim.

It’s a shame the sign was so highly reflective. I could probably edit the reflection out, but it is not worth the effort.

Our time here is winding down, earlier today we returned the rental car, and we fly back to the US in three days. It seems I didn’t take any pictures of our trip to Edinburg or Glasgow (I did take a lots of our event in Glasgow, but I’m not putting those here). So, this is the last picture I have apart from some family pictures, which again, I’ll not be publishing.

Some Stats

  • Spent lots of time with family.
  • Held three business events.
  • Drove over 2,000 miles.
  • Walked over 75 miles (including over 40 miles in two days in Edinburg & Glasgow).
  • Watched a show on the Edinburg Fringe.
  • I swam in the sea (makes a change from Table Rock Lake).
  • Spent more nights in hotels (17) than we originally budgeted.
  • Blowing my own horn, I ran 34 miles over 13 runs — the shortest 2.32 miles at RSPB Fairburn Ings (Selby), and longest, 2.92 miles at Folkstone.

And that’s it for our 2024 UK visit.
