Barry,
Went to Weymouth a couple of times as a teenager - we stayed in a lovely B&B just outside Weymouth with an orchard with a swing in it. We loved the ferry over the river, the old man - well I thought he was old then - who rowed it was a great story teller.
Love the beach there and the Sandman, who did pictures from sand, they were brilliant, but I should think he must be dead by now, he was really old lol.
My nephew sails for the British Youth Team, so he is at Portland quite often, my brother says people are meaner now, he had a metal detector one year when we went and made a fortune from loose change he found on the beach.
All fond memories, not sure if there are any pics at moms will have to look and post if I can find some.
Sue
