Google said 3.5hours, so we planned for 4, with London Friday night traffic. Sam was on the motorbike and we were meeting some other friendos at the house, and we had a walk planned for the next day. The walk we had chosen was Three Cliffs Bay, about a four hour round trip. The weather forecast was kind of grey and...
