Roatán, Honduras;
25-27 April 2023
During a walk on Sunday. We walked from Dunkirk to....somewhere a few miles. Got lost in the woods. Only just managed to get out before the sun set and disappeared. We were attempting to walk Dunkirk & Denstroude on this route no.3 www.theblean.co.uk/visiting-the-blean/walking/
but decided to make our own route back. It was very muddy, it was getting darker and we emerged from the woods at Upper Harbledown. The GPS on our phones really let us down, it kept showing us as being almost in central Canterbury so we had to rely on our wits to get out (and the sound of fast moving traffic in the distance, of course. Thus we walked another 2.5 miles back to the car in Dunkirk. Interesting adventure. Reminded me how much I hate walking along paths beside very fast moving traffic on A roads at night. We will do more of The Blean walk, but perhaps in summer with a better map and when there is less mud!
I should add, this was one of the easier parts to walk, not too much mud here, but the worst parts were flooded and waterlogged, how we managed to stay upright I do not know. I think we walked 9 miles instead of the expected 4.5miles the walk suggested!
I photographed these boats back in 2017 but I had a major sensor dust problem and lens flare issues and until now I had believed that the images were unusable.

Found this bookseller in a market right by the river, fast asleep. I wasn't the only one sneaking a shot of him..and found it worked better in black and white.
I experimented with a black and white version of a picture I took from Aviation Nation. Now that I look at it, the light post in the background distracts from the jet.
