In the summer of 1987 we had a holiday in Dorset, taking a caravan at Eype near Bridport. We drove down in the Sunflower van with....
....Lizzie and David rattling around on cushions in the back, Katy being on a water sports holiday in the south of France.
I knew this part of Dorset from my geology days as a spectacular stretch of coastline. It is formed of Jurassic rocks, the hill in the middle distance, Golden Cap, being Jurassic oolites.
We walked miles along the coast paths....
....and sat in the sunshine enjoying super views, with remarkably few other people around.
It must have been exceptionally hot as it takes a lot to get me into a British sea. However, we did spend a fair amount of time looking for fossils, particularly ammonites, along the beach, some of which I still have.
