Two thousand
« Southampton | Gosport »

This month's coastwalk requires a drum-roll introduction. Under a glorious blue sky, the walk up and down the River Hamble (which I'd previously crossed by the gaudy pink ferry) climaxed with my two thousandth mile of coast.

I've been a little slower on this second chunk - five years and six months, rather than the five years and one month I took to complete my first thousand.

So beside the wonderfully named "Bunny Meadows" Emma reached down and prised a small stone from the gravel path. It will join the lump of ballast I collected at Grange on my desk. Two stones down, five to go.
