A last minute decision to ride the R1200 Adventure to the Dive Show at NEC – gained some useful knowledge about Australia next year. The ride home was via Warwick and down through the Cotswolds taking in Moreton-in-the-Marsh, Stow, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cirencester and Tetbury.

A dive under Swanage Pier. The conditions were “total pea soup”, so very little to show from it photographically.

A long drive North to Coffs Harbour. Took an interesting “loop” away from the main road passing the Myall Lakes National Park, the Booti Booti National Park, Forster and Tuncurry. We rejoined the Pacific Highway south of Taree and pressed on, bypassing Port Macquarie, and then through Kempsey and Mackville.

A visit to the “Big Island” of Hawaii to dive the Kona Coast aboard the “Kona Aggressor” liveaboard with a group of underwater photographers led by Martin Edge.
