Thursday 10th July Kimmeridge to Worth Matravers

By: Mike To a Long Steep Hill 10.7.25

I know. Out of sequence. The reason is we can't walk through the Lulworth range on a weekday. We will come back on Saturday. Old men don't fall over. No, they 'have falls'. I had one yesterday. On one of the steep descents I lost my balance on a gravelly bit and went down on my arse. No harm done. I do need to watch every step though. OAIAB 3. Transferring from our car to the taxi at Renscombe Farm car park I left my day bag in the car. How could I? At my bloody age, easily. Luckily everything important was in a carrier bag. Only thing missing was the path guide book and map. We made it by following the signs and using Google maps. It would have been an easy day but it was 27 degrees and bright sun. Exhausting.

Saturday 12 July Day of rest

By: Mike To a Long Steep Hill 12.7.25

We did intend to do the path through the ranges today. I cannot tell a lie - unlike some coast path Walkers. It is just too bloody hot. But we do intend to come back and fill in this gap and er.. one or two others. We began our rest day with a delightful swim in the Cove. Very crowded, but as we literally jumped in the water and came away, the throngs didn't bother us. After a nice coffee we drove to The Smugglers for a long lunch. Then we visited a church which Chris wanted to see. Then it was on to the deserted village of Tyneham. The people were heaved out by the army in 1943. There will be pictures. A lovely restful day. We don't feel guilty at missing the ranges at all, do we?
