How Charlie could keep a straight face when he wrote of his financial extravagances I will never know. To spend one penny here to look at some rock formations, then more investment on picture postcards – he didn’t have a camera at this time in his life – after a rip off lunch costing three shillings each, and not worth it either, he is going downhill fast. But all is forgotten as he gets in amongst the rock formations of Dovedale and the myriad shapes that have been created over millions of years. Getting lost on their escape from the valley was their final indignity.
