Army Ranges to check
http://www.southwestcoastpath.org.uk/walkthepath/armyranges/
There are some army ranges that I need to check on because if they are closed when we get there its a long walk around it.
Lulworth Ranges, (Dorset)
(Grid ref: between SY 828 797 and SY 900 790)
"Information about the range walks can be obtained from the Range Control
Office (0900-1630 hrs Mon-Fri and during the weekends when the ranges
walks are closed), Tel: 01929 404819."Hmmm we may have a problem here as unable to find out for definate if the path is open or not. If closed may have to resort to a cab rather than walk 13 miles around the firing range.

[Update 28/05/15]
I cant find any information that says whether the south west coast path is open weekdays during June between Kimmerdge and Lulworth. It says when closed there will be flags flying and the gates will be locked. I'm not sure if this relates to the walks actually on the Lulworth ranges or if it includes the SWCP. Ive looked on the satellite and cant see any evidence of any gates on the coastal path. So we will just go for it and see what we've got when we get there. If we have to go around then we'll have to go around either by cab, walking or bus. Might get there and find Ive spent hours looking into it and its not a problem, we'll see.

Its looking like the ranges will be closed which is a big dissappointment as it means we can travel the South West Coast Path during the week. Should have planned to get there so we could traverse that area at the weekend.

Finally found information for 2015

22k (13m) around 9k (5m) along coastal path
Ok so it looks like I need to try and reschedule so that we arrive at the area at the weekend when the coastal path will be open. Need to try a change holiday dates at work to Wed 17th to Tuesday 23rd.
