Sunday and a more strenuous 5 mile up and down along the coast from Lulworth Cove to Tyneham (abandoned village in army ranges). Fossil forest etc.

      Bit colder (wind in NE) but still fantastic

    Well dressed

    Well lit!

   Resting before a bloody great hill

    Heading for green valley right of centre (lots of ups and downs)

    Looking back from green valley (Tyneham)
