Finally, the weather cleared up, so a quick walk on the beach at Parton. Lots of pottery finds today, but best of all a full steam run-by of the Leander. She was built in 1936 in Crewe and was named after HMS Leander which in turn was named after the Greek Leander - from the myth where Hero, one of Aphrodite's priestesses fell in love with Leander.
