The ride down from Sussex was very wet, a bad time to find out that my BMW Santiago boot leeks. However once we made it to the Sammy miller Motorcycle Museum and grabbed a cup of tea and bacon sarnie the weather cleared up.
After a stroll around we took a ride to Milford on Sea on the smaller back roads. I was amazed (should have clicked) that you could see the Isle of Wight and the Needles from the cost.
On the Sunday it was back down to Milford on Sea and a walk to Hurst Castle. If you haven't been its well worth a visit. You park up and walk a mile and a half along a split to reach the castle.
Built by Henry the VIII the once small castle is now a large fort. Charles the 1st was imprisoned here as well as having troops stationed here during World War II
We had great fun exploring the fort. Fantastic value at only £4.50 per person and we spent a good 4 hours there. It was also great to spend quality time with my wife.
The weather certainly was better than the day before. We also had a nice ferry ride back to the bike.
