Weather is perfect for a [Haunted Hike](http://www.hauntedhike.com/haunted-hikes).

Group is assembling in the dark outside the west gate of the century-old Anglican cathedral of St John the Baptist. It’s misty and drizzling, with a gusty wind rattling the leaves. The occasional booming sound from the harbour, as ships are loaded, and a fog horn. Towers of the neighbouring Roman Catholic basilica barely visible in the mist.

Wish me luck!

I just moved away from the Rock. Have a pint at the Ship Inn or the Duke of Duckworth for me.

I had some friends who took a boat ride up to your island, back in the day. Seas so rough even the crew got sick. For 12 hours. 😛

Let us know if you come back alive or not.
