55 days in....

Dear all

I am in Weymouth for now. I have just walked around the Isle of Portland which unfortunately due to the cloudyness and poor visibility wasn't the sight it could have been. Anyhow it was part of it all and interesting in it's own right.

I think I may have lost my journal on the bus getting out there so flip it (audible scream) have checked with the lost property at Weymouth bus station to see if they have had it handed in but nothing so far. I have been super careful with that and the two guidebooks I have been using but some things can't cope with my skills at losing things.

Checking my last post I was in Dartmouth when I updated this 9 nine days ago. So good progress from there. Some tough sections but there are some 'severe' sections between here and the ferry at Studland. (I am dreaming of the ferry at Studland.) Lulworth Cove until Swanage looks to be a bad one and it also looks like rain on Saturday so could be a lot of fun.

It's funny how the days have gone though. Counting down the days until it was two weeks to go, the into single figures and now it's three days of walking left. How strange it will be to be home again. Not very.

I can say I will be in Lulworth Cove tomorrow night. Not sure where I am staying yet but should be either at the youth hostel or back in the tent. Word has it the area either side of Lulworth to Worther Matravers stretch is pretty booked out. A lot of people are planning to do this stretch as it is only open at weekends as it is Ministry of Defence firing ranges. Hold on to your hats.

See you on the other side.

David
