| The Sea King tour boat landed on the beach and we were forced to walk the plank! Down to the beach. Very easy ascent from the east beach at Bar Point. On to South Hill. 13:15, 2 hours later and I'm back, proving I'm no good at beach holidays and lying on one. A gentle jog up the path | Minto | 06/07/2022 |
