Start of the South West Coastal Path

We have now completed the “Home” section of the coast from Lymington to Sandbanks.

The next part is the South West Coastal Path, which runs from Minehead in Somerset to Studland in Dorset. We will be starting at Studland and heading in the reverse direction, clockwise.

The South West Coastal Path Association publishes a guide to the path and divides it into 70 sections that are suggested for hay or half-day walks, but they are designed assuming public transport is available, so we won’t be sticking to them strictly.

Assuming we manage to do one section a week, on average, we should get to Minehead in the spring of 2022 – I think that is a realistic date for Covid19 restrictions to be over – but we will have to wait and see.

As we go West we will inevitably be getting further from home, and so need to stay away – so we have booked a campsite in Swanage for two days next week to stay in our camper-van.

I’ll put more on the Blog then
