Well the plot thickens...preparations are in place, vehicles
and chattels aremoved and stored for the coming safari.
The process takes me along the jurassic coast world heritage
stomp to Weymouth in Dorset, Budmouth to Hardy fans,
and incidently home to a very nice marine elephant lab.
Weymouth is also hosting the sailing portion of Olympic
glory, and in preparation is currently having a large scar
placed in the Dorset downs ridge, south of the iron-age
Maiden castle, on the roman road to Dorchester.
The event is almost as ruinous as the Poundbury carbuncle
that destroys the formerly unblemished and unpopulated
view of the Durotrige North from that same ridge.
Anyway I digress, I just wish Hardy had been around to
dwill flunk the plans of the regal procession.
The area has now changed more in the last ten years
than in the previous thousand, as the macabre collection
of executed skulls unearthed during the ridge removal have
witnessed. Ironically fitting the disturbance.
The jurassic coast stretches to the west in relatively
unadultered form. West Bay is the exception it seems having
received an airdrop that was intended for
Poundbury, right at the edge of the harbour messing up the
formerly splendid view west! The recession has luckily stalled
the same progress for Weymouth, For the moment!
