Default Am going to an island
This Friday I will be travelling by train to North Devon, where on Saturday I am due to go by ship to Lundy Island for two weeks. I am informed that there is no internet access available. I also discovered that there is no coverage for my mobiles in that part of the world, so using my mobile as a make shift modem will not work either.

So when I drop off the face of the Earth, that is where I am.

If anyone cares to drop by the Island between 14 April and 18 April, I am staying at the Old Light Cottage.

Supposedly, unless the weather and Sea conditions say otherwise.

In the past I have gone from Bideford, Appledor Heliport or Clovelly

If I can go from Ilfracombe I complete the set.

You sound like you are having nice time and it looks like a lovely place.

Must be so good to get away from all the noise and pollution of Newcastle for a bit of peace and quiet.

The Old light (Now decomissioned since 1898)

On the right you may be able to make out my Old Light Cottage.
