Wednesday 24th - Day 3 and the trek today was from Yarmouth to Brighstone, taking in the Needles. This was a 14 mile walk along probably the most scenic part of the coastline. We had hoped for a fairly short day, but taking a detour through some thorny undergrowth put paid to that. Probably added at least an hour on the day. Sack the map readers !!!

The Needles - half way!

But not before encountering some ferns!!!! Brian was a little too short to see where he was going for most

of the time here

Caroline rushing to the top of Tennyson's Point - we told her there was an ice-cream shop there; we lied!!

Photo above - James and Penny discuss the next stage whilst Caroline and Tracy wonder what's on Tony's mind!

Not too bad so far; not quite a walk in the park though!

Tracy going pale at the thought of another nine miles!

So we stop off for lunch outside some convenient public places...there was a ladies' as well!

Stretching off and getting ready for the next leg - another blister check!

We're happy to be on the way!

Here's Margaret and Ian - out for the day and offering support with cold bananas and water....note the pay here hat!
