Weymouth to Lulworth August 2009

Wll this is a fantastic walk but a long one ... and it gets tougher and tougher as you near the end. About 13 miles all in all but wonderful scenery.
Towards the end the steep chalk cliffs nearing durdle Dor are wonderful. Lulworth very spoilt but there is a reasonable pub .. the lulworth cove Inn ... if you can manage it you are better off walking up the hill to West Lulworth to a proper pub

here are the pictures

A great holiday with Sarah Molly Rob and Molly's friend Lauren. Great fun ... maybe a little bit too busy again this summer. However the boules situation is now on a knife edge with Lyna and Jaques clearly realising that there powerbase has weakened. Saw Marjery, Elizabeth Potter, Susan. Met new friends .. Jean Phillipe and Sabine from Tyros and Tom and Sadie Holland. They were our neighbopurs briefly ... great fun. Sarah could help Sadie with Midder and I could glean copious information from Tom on the Byzantines ... perfect!!!

Abbotsbury to Ferrybridge

Well these are in the wrong order... however the walk from Abbotsbury to Ferrybridge is a welome relief. It is soft and lovely. Mixing English villages and hedgerows with the inner sea and fishing boats. As with all these walks I advise either ringing travel line to get a bus timetable ... or biking one way and walking the other ....

Ferrybridge to Lulworth Cove



Originally uploaded by drtombell1.

Wonderful walk in hot midsummer. The old Weymouth harbour was wonderful. There then followed a great wander through Weymouth at its most busy. Fabulous in its own way. Then the wonderful if tiring 15mile walk to Lulworth. There is a pub there The Lulworth Cove Arms .... better than it might be in a honey pot!!!
