Maiden Castle, which is even older than Stone Henge. It takes about an hour to walk the whole ridge.

Here is why the ridge of hills at the top of Dorset is called Spread Eagle.
Look carefully and there is the wings and head.

I'm not in charge of the plane here you will be pleased to know.

They are silly
Where would they have the sailing, windsurfing, volleyball and stuff?
I thought Hyde Park Lake would have been ok but the 'committee' decided Weymouth has everything to suit. The old Naval Docks have been re-vamped for the accommodation at Portland (the land spit). The Booms in the picture are where most of the sports will be held and the yachts moored. Weymouth Bay is sheltered enough for all sailing activities including canoeing. The beach is wide and very very sandy- ideal for the womens volleyball
Does Twisteroo need bed and breakfast?

Great Pics! I wish I were there...
RE: Geography lesson - Twitchin Kitten - 10-26-2010
Now I think it would be quite interesting and challenging to have them do all the water sports on the Thames!

LOL........a new sport......obstacle sculling, rowing crews will have to dodge commercial barges on their way to the finish line!

I suggest you fly above the women's beach volleyball and take some pics for me.
