Drove the short distance to Stanley and set up. The town is at the bottom of "The Nut" which is 143 metres high. 13 million years ago lava shot through the earth's surface, cooled and formed basalt and formed The Nut. You can either walk up to the top or take the chairlift. I am sure you won't be surprised to hear we took the chairlift. There is a 2km walk around the Nut plateau which gives you great views. We also came down on the chairlift. We then strolled around the historic village of Stanley looking at the old buildings. We ended the day with an ice cream. Ian had the lavender flavoured one. The taste wasn't very strong but the colour was a beautiful purple. Started blowing a gale and rained during the night. Few people putting their awnings up during the night.
