My trip to Durdle Door

When I lived in England, I often got together with my good, long time, friend T. We met when we were 18 or so, worked together and were housemates for a couple of years. A very good friend.

She was also a Canadian living in England (actually she still is) and we use to love getting together for expat bitch-fests and also to play tourist.

One weekend we decided to go to Durdle Door. So we loaded up her little rust bucket and off we went. Here are some photos of our nice trip:

Yeah, I thought I heard something...


Hmm...


We decide to forget Durdle Door and went to Avebury instead. It was very, very relaxing, interesting and I loved it. Better pics.


Requisite blog 'drive-by' pic, with a film camera, 'member those?


I can not, for the life of me, remember this mound's name. Anyone? It's right beside Avebury. It's driving me nuts!


I loved Avebury but I'm hoping to actually see Durdle Door one day; cos ain't it cool?

    It seems you were well prepared for that kind of accident with that heavy trunk. Old rusty cars need that kind of equipment. No idea about the places, sorry!

    I always wonder what kind of teeny weeny cars I used to drive and taking photos on film camera. Thank god those days are over.

    Speaking of the name, after my friend first suggested the trip, I got very frustrated by the lack of info I was finding by googling Turtle Tor! ;-)

    I got a cracking drive by a few weeks ago. I'll post it soon.
    Nice mound BTW.

    That tire exploded - it's in shreds. Very funny - the trip to Durdle Door that wasn't. I wonder how it got its name?

    I never even knew it existed till now! (Durdle's Door not Avebury). Guess that's what happens when you drop geography at 14 after 2 years of deranged supply teachers talking about sheep.
