I’ve posted a lot of photos of Bournemouth Pier. I walk past it several times a week, at least. Sometimes, I post photos of Boscombe Pier. It’s further down the coast, and I pass it just a few times a year. Every year the British Heart Foundation run a Pier to Pier swim event. I … Continue reading Pier to Pier
