Lovely walk, we did it in 10 days so it was about 12 or 14 miles a day. Was very nice  Wow. Our walking group had a weekend away down to Seafood in 2013 I think. We took bus to Eastbourne and walked back to Seafood as one of the walks. Stunning. T shirt weather in mid November with a truly spectacular sunset as we stopped on the headland just before Seafood. I obviously have alot more of the area to Explore 🙂🙂. Edale and the Peaks is our next trip away We used this company to organise it It appears it was 9 days Excellent holiday Bed and breakfast each night along the route, a taxi takes your luggage to the next B&B and you walk with just a packed lunch and a guide booklet / map www.footprintsofsussex.co.uk/walking-holidays/ |

more reviews from The Glasgow Film Festival
Free Fire
Set in the 1970 with a simple plot of arm deal gone wrong and a very long shoot out, no need to engage you brain for this film.
We acted and some funny lines, beer and pizza film

Goldstone, the sequel to the Aussie thriller Mystery Road is a brilliant thriller from start to finish, it looks amazing too and the acting is top class
so far this film doesn't have a uk distribution deal which is a real shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angry Inuk is a very powerful documentary about the ongoing struggle of the Inuk peoples to fight for their right to hunt seals and sell the skins
The film shows the hypocrisy of the well fund groups who use campaigns to ban seal hunting as a way to earn money and while ignoring the request from discussions with the Inuk peoples, the devastating affect on the bans have on the Inuk economy and society and the underlying pressure for the Inuk people to allow oil and gas fields to be developed as they only alternative to economical survival
even if your not a fan of "hunting" or eating meat this film will challenge your prescriptions

The Warrior's Gate was the opening film of the Fright Fest session of the GFF and Del was hoping for something special as Luc Besson was one of the producers behind the film.
Sadly it was a bit of let down and it turned out to be a average action film aimed at 12 year boys

David Lynch: The Art Life
David Lynch looks enigmatic as he talks about his childhood, school life, discovering art and then becoming a film maker
Del loved this film and for him if was like sitting in on 90 minute therapy session with Mr Lynch as he simply tells it as it was

The Lost City of Cecil B DeMille a interesting documentary about the seach from and the excavation of the original set Mr DeMille built in the 1920 for his epic the ten commandments
The search doesn't take long but the crossing of the sea of red tape takes over30 year!

Transpecos is set on the USA Mexican border and things begin to go wrong for 3 border guards when they discover a car with a hidden stash of drugs
tense but a little bit predicable it will keep you guessing and leave you with some unanswered questions
