I arrived at the start point by bus, bright and
early(ish). The sun was up and off I set along the shore. Plenty to look at on
this first leg although as it was a nudist beach I concentrated on whale
watching rather than willy watching. My camera was firmly in its case as I
walked Shell Bay
Leaving Shell Bay and Studland Bay gets me into my first hill climb around Handfast Point. It is good looking down on Old Harry after canoeing around them last year. Dropping down again from Ballard Point into Swanage is a comfortable relaxing stroll, chatting with other walkers whilst enjoying the scenery and sunshine.
Leaving Swanage climbing again around Peveril Point into Durlston Bay. Peaceful countryside is bliss and less populated once past Tilly Whim caves.

Just past Anvil point and the Lighthouse, I head inland
to my resting place that evening, tired but happy with approximately 9 miles covered and no blisters or serious
body aches. 
A good day in all, I
headed back inland to the van parked at Shorfields campsite, parked way above
many static vans/holiday homes overlooking Swanage Bay. Shorefields was
reasonable priced served by good friendly staff. After a good hot shower, a
light salad and most welcome glass of wine while overlooking the bay was all I
required before retiring.
