Coastal Retreat

One from our walk along the coast line yesterday with Corfe Castle the start point. It's a nice walk along the common and up the hill to Kingston before joining the sea at Hounstout. At this point the wind was very strong, and barely a person in sight which is unusual for a weekend. We walked to Kimmeridge stopping for a pasty on the ledges. There was one mad sailor on the sea, Lewis went so far as to suggest he was either inexperienced or mad - he was rather close to the shore in 40+knots onto a lee shore.

Later the winds got much stronger and it was a challenge standing up, but the brave battled on and notwithstanding the rain that set in; ...followed by very thick mist (!), we managed to get back safe by last light.

I shall post a few more pictures as Greg was busy with the camera too, and I have a nice selection. But in the meantime there's a nice picture of yours truly on my Flickr Stream
