Kelly and I did a quick divert to the Isle of Portland, as
we were in Weymouth (to have a go on the Jurassic Skyline, on which Kelly got
shitfaced). I’ve never been to Portland, but half of Birmingham is built with
stone from this little Isle, so I felt a visit was worth it. The sun was
shining, it was early evening, there was a light breeze… it was perfect driving
weather. I drove all the way up to the top and we stood and took in the view,
before heading back to our accommodation for the night.
The Isle of Portland is home to the quarries from which
Portland Stone is extracted. It is part of the Jurassic Coast, and the views
from the top are simply stunning.
