OK so yesterday I went somewhere new! I went all the way to Poole to have a look onboard the Condor Express as Condor Ferries had a open day, which involved the Condor Express coming alongside the Quay at Poole - right in the town centre. I managed to watch it come in (whilst getting soaked with rain, even though it was supposed to be dry) and got onboard. Had a look round the bridge, which took ages to get to due to the queues to see it. There was also a engine room tour, but unfortunately due to the queues I never got to see it, which was a bit of a shame.

Have to say, the bridge of Condor Express is a lot different and very cramped compared to the airy bridge of SSEs White Marlin.

Anyway here are some pics from the day:
