Poole & Knoll Beach



Fairly bright this morning but still quite windy. Ran out of gas whilst cooking breakfast so had to go in search of gas in Poole before heading to Pizza Hut for lunch.

We then had a nice walk by the quayside. In the Old Lifeboat Station is the 1938 Lifeboat, Thomas Kirk Wright. This lovely old lifeboat was used by the admiralty to evacuate Allied Troops from Dunkirk in WWII. She was the first lifeboat to reach the beaches in France on 30 May 1940.

We then had a nice stroll through town before heading back across the Sandbanks chain ferry.

We called in at Knoll Beach, where you get a nice view of the Old Harry rocks. Maddy dipped her feet in the water for five minutes. It was now starting to rain so we headed back to the van for the evening.
