@Mark. re cruise, it might be quite cool to head over to Weymouth and then to Portland and park up somewhere right by the sea for a few minutes. not sure if its possible or not but just a thought (as you asked!) - something a bit different and I know some that arrive on the Thursday, tootle over on the friday in the past.

Hi Gav, I'll take any suggestion, and look into it, thank you,  I know the midlands crew have been to Portland, maybe if any of them that gave can let me know what they thought.

Gav we have parked up a couple of times at Bowleaze after doing a few loops of Weymouth which always seems rather crowded. Portland is a great favorite of mine and has fewer people. Last year we went to the Jail House Cafe although simply driving to, up onto it and back takes in some great views. It's Pay & Display by Portland Bill and there are a couple of buggyists on Portland who came out to see us last time.

Chesil Beach is another area you can park up for at a cost.

Ideas welcome !

Cheers Hugh, I'm certainly considering a trip to Portland as its somewhere most of us haven't been too.
