Holiday Photos Day 1 Day 2 >> Day 3 << Day 4 Day 5 Day 6
	Mary is our leader today at Brighstone Forest - our experts help her with her map reading
	Before we head up to Limerstone Down
	Where we have views to the sea and back along the coast
	A walk through some woods
	Brings us to the other side of the hill. Now loooking across the Solent
	Blacksmiths Arms - could be interesting
	It's well signed
	Can't be far - time for lunch
	We gather in the garden after lunch
	Off along more rolling downs
	And fields of corn
	Carisbrook Castle in the distance
	A muddy track
	Brings us to a farm
	With a pretty farmhouse
	And a closer view of the Castle
	The old asylum - now luxury flats
	More thatched cottages
	And Gatcombe church - a modern memorial tomb
Looking towards the altar
Best not to sit down
Looking back down the church
We leave the church to be picked up by the bus
In the evening we have a magician at the hotel - the quickness of the hand deceives the camera *
Kathy has problems with her wedding ring *
Richard has a weighty problem *
And prepares to disappear - but it doesn't work permanently! Tim looks on aghast *
Aaron Isted is the magician's name - scroll down to read Bill Grindley's testimonial HERE
