One thing I have always enjoyed is people-watching, and where better than the Hoe? People taking their dogs for walks & throwing them sticks/balls, picnics & BBQ's going on, or simply out there enjoying the view. As they say, anything goes on the Hoe .... from hot-air balloons:
... or failing that, somebody pulling a bus along (well why not, with petrol prices being so high these days?!)
Sometimes the Army use the Hoe for training purposes, usually very early in the morning (so they can't be seen perhaps?!). Well, it was either training, or they were trying to build a giant bonfire ...
However, I was not prepared for the sight that met my eyes the other morning. Seeing hunky Army lads running up and down is one thing ... but giving each other firemens lifts??? They could have asked for willing female volunteers .... !!!
Another evening, I could hear a lot of grunting going on, so was naturally intrigued .... and guess what I saw?? Kickboxing! Needless to say, I doubt if there would have been very many female volunteers for that ....

I like the way the ballon has knocked the lighthouse over a bit. :)
And formation squadies make a great shape in your photo.
I must admit I used to enjoy people watching on the Thames when I lived on my boat in Staines.....I only saw a couple doing the business once...on a balmy summer evening... those
doing it on the Hoe could become members of the Mile Hoe Club!
...Luv Si xx
