Portland "Monstrous carbuncle"?

Portland Bill (traditional geocache)


Portland Bill was interesting as a geographical expression, but very little else.

Three lighthouses could be viewed on the bill. One of these is a Bed & Breakfast. Another is a bird observatory. The impressive active lighthose is pictured here.

Given that the cafe - a monstrous carbuncle - on Portland Bill served the worst cream tea on record, The Portland Bill geocache was a bit of a saving grace.

I used the cache to dump my travelbugs collected at recent geocaching activities in the midlands, the Cotswolds and south Wales. The Portland Bill geocache also marks a new southerly extremity of my geocaching career to date.
