Gary & Arnies 69k trek - A few pictures of the terrain we are taking on

To give people an idea of what terrain myself and Arnie the Dog will be walking over ive found some photos that others have taken. Links to their websites are above pictures and copyright is solely theirs.

Anyway its a bit hilly.  Click a picture and it'll take you to a bigger gallery.

The panorama over Kimmeridge, the 'Jurassic Coast' and Weymouth in the distance.


The southwest coast path below the viewpoint heading for Kimmeridge Bay.

One of the 'joys' of the South West Coast Path between Weymouth & Swanage is that, having just surmounted one seemingly impossible hillside, another lies visibly in wait!  Here, the path can be seen snaking its way up Bindon Hill, near Lulworth, at a gradient sometimes exceeding 50%

The views obtained from the top of these mini-mountains are, however, reward for the effort.  In the foreground is Worbarrow Bay and then successive headlands as far as St Aldhelm's Head

It is only possible to walk this section of the Coast Path when the Lulworth Camp Firing Ranges are closed.  Signage along the route is abundant.  In the far distance is Wareham Channel and Poole Harbour
