I think I may well agree Xman. We spent our 'honeymoon' on Saltspring Island and it was stunning. We spent 10 days turning over rocks on the beaches looking for chitons, whilst bald eagles soared overhead. Incredible.xman wrote:BC really is the best place on earth. Well, at least one of them.
It really narks me when the "media" refer to beachy head (a piddling 500ft) as the highest cliffs in Britain.The five hills rise steeply into Foula’s jagged silhouette and drop sharply to the sea on the west side in the highest sheer sea cliffs in Britain. The Nort Bank and Wester Hoevdi are around 700 ft and the highest cliff the Kame is 1220 ft.
