Bournemouth

Firstly:



Had a lot of fun on Studland Beach...got quite prawned on my back. Not that kind of fun of old, seems the clamp down and prissy queens have put paid to that...

Decided to stay over in Bournemouth so I can get to Weymouth in the morning. Settled into into the hotel, that's where it got weird. It' 'Bourne Free', Bournemouth's idea of Pride. I say that with full scorn - really in a place that with my likes should be a wonderland, it really is dead...or strange. They've made a lot of places wristband only, so if you didn't knopw about it you're shut out.

But the main places are open but weird - Bournemouth is like Brighton but with the counter culture taken out - what's left is a rather obvious and unfriendly blob of whistles, drag acts, kids and round cleanshaven men in Fred Perry. Oh and gigantic photos of Lionel Blair advertising retirement homes. So seaside weird/waryness but with not much else. Oh I fancied going to a sauna. It was closed.

Long and the short of it ,it's like Palm Springs but without the cool factor, constant weather and sex in pools. If you're gay, avoid staying here. The hotel is having a dub night (oh goody wonder if the subbass will travel) but that's as radical as it gets.

I described it on Twitter as end of the pier - plus 50 feet.

Tomorrow is Weymouth to Lulworth Cove or more, a long walk...I look forward to getting a walk in away from these people...events like this make me wonder if I am gay at all - yes I like the cock but I have nothing in common with these people.
