We landed at Bournemouth needing to meet Kerri & Andy to get a new camping matt as ours gave up last night.
We walked across the road towards Harry Ramsden and there was a stranger with two cups of hot chocolate asking for our names and then giving us the drink and then he said that all food is on John Miller.
We still can’t believe the kindness of a total stranger, we ate and are absolutelly amazed by this.
That’s so lovely.
Hope there is much more hot chocolate and a few strong bevs on the way round Natalie. Should be plenty of folk down in the South West keeping an eye out for you. I’m depressed now I’m back home and not paddling so when the going gets tough – just imagine you could be on dry land behind a desk instead!
Martin, has left you guys a few tweets. He said check the currents around Portland and he stayed close to land. Stay safe xxx
