OK - we can manage the day trip to Weymouth as its "only" those two lost.  But this summer is not only about having great days out, but also about risks assessments ahead of time and managing issues in the lead up, on the morning, and during the day.

Yep, and I have been tracking the weather forecast for Weymouth.  Probable rain before we arrive - 25% chance thereafter in each hour.  There's some inside things to do there - at least there were a long time ago when I was last there; that was many weeks ago before Saturdays were being wiped out by Industrial Action.  Wind will be "refreshing" - need to watch for sand blowing around ...

There's a handful of "bucket and spade" types on the train ... but mostly more mature and more warmly dressed types. There are some drinking out of cans which I suspect contain sense-modifying beverages, and I can't help noticing the big group of young ladies around me who are clearly going to need to find somewhere indoors if they are to keep warm, and look like they're going to a fancy dress (camouflage) event.   All in all, perhaps 40% occupancy on the train now, approaching Maiden Newton.

I'm hoping the same can be said for the mankini!  Wink
