On Chesil Beach

Our last tourist day in Dorset today as tomorrow we compete in an orienteering event in the New Forest and then head home. We've had another busy day, visiting Eggardon Hill, another Iron Age Hill Fort with the most amazing views. This is also where the sabre scene in Far From the Madding Crowd was filmed but it wasn't quite the weather for a reenactment today and Tony had left his moustache in the car. We moved on to Lyme Regis but I had also left my cape in the car so we failed miserably with the French Lieutenant's Woman reenactment too, instead blipping the seagulls on the end of The Cobb in calm seas. Along the coast we searched for fossils on Charmouth Beach and then drove to Chesil Beach. I could have spent the whole day here blipping as it is such an amazing place.

Apologies to Ian McEwan for appropriating the title of his book which I struggled to read some time back. I struggled to move at any pace through the wall of pebbles too.
