    May 16 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Nice evening in the pub last night! Large group of people arrived from Margate and we met up again with a young girl we had met that morning. She had been wild camping down at Winspit Quarry and we came across her on our walk. She told us then that she was taking a long weekend on her own before starting a new job on Monday. When we saw her again Gwyne asked her what her new job was and it turns out she will be working as an apprentice/assistant at Anthony Gormley’s workshop in Kings Cross! What interesting people we meet! There was live music in the pub but we were tired and ready for our beds!
    Today started sunny and bright and we left our magical little barn and started the walk to Swanage. We joined the coastal path at Dancing Ledge where there were lots of coasteering folk enjoying jumping into the sea in wet suits and crash helmets and exploring the coast. We went on and got to Dulston Castle and country park where we enjoyed lunch looking at a wonderful view that took in The Isle of Wight, Old Harry rocks, the Studland peninsula and Bournemouth. Continued on and came to pretty Swanage. Found our Airbnb which was lovely! 2 bedrooms , bathroom, inside, huge kitchen and sitting room . Decided to buy in food for tonight and watch a film! Last walk tomorrow and then home . Not sure how we ended up doing 8.5 miles but we did!!
