Winding Windy Oxley - Part 2

Then down the coast a bit to find Lighthouse Beach caravan park - a place where 13 years previously I had camped with

Pam and Liane when we were on "The long way home" trip (1995). It took some finding as my memory is hazy.

Once found (and after a trip to the local Tavern) I had the tent section to myself and was soon setup.

Time for a walk on the beach, see the lighthouse and a strange looking rock - or was it a strange rock looking?

I even had time for a a dip in the sea.

Breakfast in the morning and then back on the road to go home

Nearing Gloucester again (I took another part of Bucketty way I had not tried before ... some beautiful views but very windy - below speed limit again!)

I stopped to take pictures of the wind and views- notice the bush ... and Redstripe was blown over by the force of a gust - Bike down!!!!

I didn't stop to take a picture (I wish I had now) but unloaded the gear and got him up again...

This was the Gloucester view I was trying to get - see the damage to redstripe's fairing ? Ouch, it hurt!

After a lunch all by myself in a bookshop/coffee shop - just me and the shopkeeper reading the paper

(separate papers of course!) I headed back into rain and more blustery wind.

I found a supermarket carpark to get out of the rain and warm up my finger - the service station was so crowded I couldn't get in!

Home again to a warm welcome

The End
