Day 9 Monday 16th August

Today we did one of the best walks we have ever done anywhere and it is only an hour from home!
P found a circular route on the map that looked good, taking in the Jurassic coast and Purbeck hills. We parked outside Kimmeridge and took path to beach, then up onto coast path.

Met 2 older couples - one from Exeter who have walked the whole of the SW coastal path and said this was the best port of all of it. The other were from Swindon and started coming there when they couldn't get to Switzerland in 1990 and had been coming back ever since - this was their favorite bit!
Chapmans Pool

Then we came inland and walked back along the ridge - fantastic 360 view point.
Kimmeridge Bay

9.3 miles. Fantastic weather - hot (25 C), sunny and a fairly strong NW wind that kept us cool all the way.
Perfect weather, perfect scenery, perfect day - made in Heaven!
