We'll forgive anyone who looks at this picture and thinks we'd done a quick hop back to Dover, as we agree the cliffs do look rather familiar.
All our cycling had improved our fitness, so we had no difficulties climbing up to this viewpoint. On the way we saw a red squirrel which was rather special.
We thought this cliff top anchor wasn't in quite the right place to be useful, but when we tried to move it, we discovered it was stuck fast. What a waste we thought, although it did add a pleasant nautical feel to the scene.
A few yards on, Chelmer spotted something that he thought might help us free the anchor so we could return it to a boat which might be able to use it ...
... yes, his bright idea is that we could use this ancient farm equipment to plow up the land surrounding the anchor, and so release it from its earthy bed.
Fortunately Chelmer is easily distracted, and he was so happy posing for photos, that by the time we'd finished photographing him being a 'laboureur de la terre' as the sign states, he had forgotten all about his earlier idea and was happy to finish the walk.
Lots of love Gilbert and friends xxx
