Cue the ‘Twilight Zone’ music — Last night, stumbling around in the dark, my headlamp picked out a glint in the rocks that make up the campfire surround. When I went to investigate, I found a Pilot pencil, just like the one I lost in February some 2½ miles away near the stock pond on the Lake Trail.

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

Morning run at Grange-over-Sands — From the Netherwood Hotel along the entire length of the promenade and back was just over two and-a-half miles. Just right for my morning run. 2

Folkestone beach and habour wall — Ginger captured this excellent view of the beach and harbour wall. The next morning I had a great run here, from the hotel, through the back streets and passages down to the harbour, out along the wall. Then back along the beach and sea front ending with the 200 ft climb back to the hotel.
