The monsoon rains seem to have receded for a few hours and so today we took a trip to Hurst Castle.
Hurst Castle and Lighthouse
It takes a long time to walk there along the gravel covered walkway and views of the needles at the Isle of Wight are clearly visible. This is in fact the closest distance to the Isle of Wight from the mainland.
The Needles
By the time we returned, we were around 3 hours overdue on the pay and display parking but miraculously there was no parking ticket waiting for us.
