UK Diving » July08 North Devon and Lundy » Hartland Point, Eden and rockpooling

The start of our stay in Devon was very, very windy, which made a walk out to Hartland Point bracing but made for good surfing. With the diving off we visited the Eden project which we found patronisingly educational and short of interest (go to Kew if you are really interested in plants). The wind stayed and was joined by rain which made our visits to Arlington Court and Northam Burrows extremely wet. Eventually we did get to dive but we fitted in some more exploring and rockpooling afterwards at Bucks Mills
