Eden Project

Yesterday I went to the Eden Project. My second time there, first by public transport from Falmouth! 2 trains and 1 bus, 1hr 20mins or so, £15.80 and in.

It being a Wednesday, and not summer holidays, plus England match day, it was lovely and not busy. However it was extremely hot, but that was okay.

Good day.

Camping on Dartmoor

So this weekend I went for my first ever camping trip. Aside from camping in someone's back garden, I've never been so I figured it was about time I did. It's given me a few ideas about things I need to take to 2000 Trees (festival) but obviously camping in the middle of nowhere and camping at a festival is completely different.

Anyway, I went with Jo (native to Dartmoor!) and Josh. We got the train to Plymouth then Jo's dad, camping expert, kindly picked us up from the station, took us to Tesco to buy supplies (food) and then drove to a car park near Burrator Reservoir. From there we made our way north alongside a river, until we were out of the trees. We were greeted by lots of sheep and had to find somewhere reasonable flat to camp.

Follow that river/stream/water.
Baaaaah!
Home sweet home.
We have fire.

I don't really like eggs, but I ate eggs. :)
Time to leave this behind.

We finished with a long walk to a pub for a much needed
cold drink and sit down.

Brilliant weekend.
