The day started out great.
It is my last day here with Sally and Tony, it’s strange feeling because
it is a bit like ‘will I ever see them again’.
I had great fun with them last night, I got a bit tipsy, others had
hangovers this morning (say no more)!! I
packed my gear up and after a slowish start we took the dogs for our daily
walk. This time we only went to the end
of the street as we had to leave to meet up with Kylie and Tom. Today we were like AC/DC groupies as the
three of us wore our T-Shirts and were dressed in black. It was not too bad weather, so we decided to
have lunch at a pub in New Forest, then head to Portsmouth, to look around the
area a bit before meeting up with Kylie and Tom at Chichester .. well that was
the plan!
We managed the drive around New Forest and the pub for
lunch, then, it went downhill from there.
It poured and poured with rain.
Flooding and accidents were abound in the direction we were
heading. Luckily when on the Motorway we
heard the report that the road from Portsmouth to Chichester was closed due to
flooding, we were nearly at the turn off when we heard it. So a quick detour off the Motorway to a shopping centre to have coffee and a
rethink.
Tony worked out our plan of action, after many detours etc
we ended up at a town called Midhurst.
There we found a quaint teas rooms and waited for Kylie and Tom. They we not too far away, so we were able to
have a tea together. Kylie briefed us on
the disasterous Download concert that was so muddy they couldn’t camp and had
to find a late minute B&B. I said my
sad farewells to Sally and Tony L,
then we headed back to Uckfield We only
had a few detours and the rain eased a bit.
We got back in just over 1 ½ hours.
It was an earlyish night tonight.
