Portland/Dorchester
June 26, 2017 in England ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
On leaving Weymouth for Dorchester we planned to go to Portland with the intention of walking around the island. We caught the bus and were going to get off at Fortuneswell. 1.25hrs later , still on the bus we arrived back in Weymouth. A sea mist enveloped the island and we didn't see anything to arouse our interest.
Dorchester looks an interesting place to look around. We shall see. It was a Roman town with some remains still visible.Read more

Lulworth Cove to Weymouth
June 26, 2017 in England ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
After our rest day we left early to catch transport to The Cove. There we had breakfast and headed off on a blustery day. Shirl being 20 kegs less than me was blown all over the place. Fortunately we had the wind in our face because she would have been blown face first down the cliffs. A tough, difficult but very enjoyable day with spectacular scenery. Durdle Door and the most photographed sign on the path, Scratchy Bottom. The first 2 hours gave us a good work out before the terrain gradually lessened for our arrival in Weymouth.
With this new site I can only post 6 photos.Read more

An up and down week
June 22, 2017 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
This last weeks walking has had its highs and lows. Some days we should have walk. Hot weather, mediocre scenery and difficult walking conditions. We though walking on soft sand was difficult but walking on shingles (pebbles) was twice as hard.
I am trying out this site and hope it won't be too difficult for you yo access.
Today's rest day in Weymouth is most welcome.Read more
