What? No Wi-Fi?

Ros and I are staying in beautiful Lulworth Cove. The weather has been magnificent. Wall to wall sunshine. Great food, great ale provided by Hall & Woodhouse who own the Lulworth Cove Inn. But, we have had no wi-fi service since we have been here. So presently I am sat above Durdle Door using my Huawei 3 portable router and a Macbook Air to make this short post. I have much to catch up with when I get back home.


The iconic Durdle Door to the west of Lulworth

So, that's it for now. I am going to enjoy the sun and the birdlife. Have just seen a Peregrine falcon...

More at the weekend.

West to Isle of Purbeck

Ros and I are heading west to Dorset and the Isle of Purbeck. Well, it's not actually an island but its geographical inaccessibility makes it feel like one. Our journey will take us along the A27 and M27, over Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth and Poole and through Wareham to our destination of West Lulworth and the Lulworth Cove Inn http://lulworth-coveinn.co.uk

There is much to see in this area of Dorset including Corfe Castle, the Swanage to Norden steam railway, Shell Bay with its superb, soft sands, Durdle Door, Dorset's iconic geographical landform and one of the highlights of the Jurassic Coast, and Tyneham, the village that was evacuated in World War ll and has remained eerily empty ever since.

Probably won't have much opportunity to post over the next week so it's TTFN....
