Sunday 26th August 2012 to Saturday 1st September 2012

Sunday 26th August 2012
Bad weather forecast for Monday 27th so this was to be the last day of short trip.  Kayaks out and messing in the surf - pretty hairy stuff - very nearly got tipped out in the waves but the Ocean drifter does not tip easy so stayed up. Lovely day, shame to be going.  Got home for about 5pm.  A bit of jip on way home with CreamFields being stopped early for safety reasons the roads were full of scallies in sh*t-up motors and slowed us getting onto the M6 in a hurry.

Monday 27th August 2012
Did bugger-all all day really.  Weather was very wet again. Took a load of stuff to recycling, took a load of golf balls up to Ashbourne Golf Club for the juniors.  Fastened the sunflowers up - they're getting on for 10 foot tall now so a bad wind could do for them.  Went to bed at 8pm to catch up a bit.

Went up to Stanton-in-Peak to put some flowers on uncle Peter's memorial.  Down to Rowsley to try and get Lucy some new school shoes and failed.  Got some camping stuff from Field and Trek (which used to be  Sportdirect.com).  All good.  Bed early.

Wednesday 29th August 2012
Up early. Took Phil to work.  Took Lucy to see 'The Three Stooges'  it was cracking like Vic and Bob on speed.  Golf in the afternoon - nine holes with John and Doug - shot 42 to get 17 points off a three-quarter handicap - must be getting better - there were five pars in that!

Up just after 6am - struggled as couldn't sleep last night.  Walk/run up town and back them into office for 9:30.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/216673937

Got some big boxes to set up a one person minimalist camping box to just chuck in when needed.  Think am going to get another little camping cooker to finish things off.   So spent much of evening get things sorted for a final one man expedition to Wales.  Hopefully, Phil will be coming next weekend and then that's it!

Friday 31st August 2012
Last day of Summer, perhaps - well after scraping car I reckon summer's gone! Never mind, into the office for 7am all good - sooooo quiet.

Off to Wales for weekend - bit of fishing first night - caught nowt, brother got a really decent bass and two whiting.  Bed late and a slightly drunk.

Saturday 1st September 2012
Up fairly early, brekky in the tent!


Walk to Llanfaethlu and back.  Battery low warning on watch so only got the direct walk to it 1.75 miles.  Went the long way back along the road to Borthwen then along the coastal path to Church Bay.
