Dianne agrees, "the weather was glorious and the scenery, spectacular. Our other walks have begun with us driving to our final destination and then catching a bus to the start but there are no buses from Lulworth so I telephoned my friend Melanie who runs the Black Bear Inn at Wool to ask about taxi firms. Her immediate response was "A taxi will cost a fortune. Why don't you park at the Black Bear, catch the train to Weymouth and I will pick you up from Lulworth when you finish."
So that's what they did!
Dianne continues, "We started from the clock on Weymouth seafront. The hills started at Bowleaze Cove and stopped at Lulworth Cove. You can see from the photos how steep the paths were but it was such a lovely day that we just plodded along, enjoying the views. We also met quite a few like-minded people who were happy to stand and chat while we got our breath back. I actually met someone who when I told him what I was intending to do for my birthday didn't say "you’re mad" but instead said what a wonderful way to celebrate."
"As you can see from the time on Weymouth clock we left at 10.45 and we arrived at Lulworth at 4.15 having had a morning break on top of the cliffs above Osmington Mills and lunch sitting in the sun, leaning on an old pillbox overlooking White Nothe.
Melanie collected us from Lulworth and we rounded off the day by joining the regulars at the Black Bear for a curry evening. If you are ever in Wool it’s a very friendly pub and the food is excellent."
Of course, only nice people live in Wool – it’s home to Baggy the Blogger’s parents!
