So the penultimate day of the journey starts with a fond fairwell to beautiful Lulworth Cove. The path to the East is shut as the ranges of the British Army are in action and they do not like moving walkers as targets. So the start point is Kimmeridge Bay, a very famous fossil area, and it’s looking pretty bleak on an overcast morning. Graham, my walking partner for today is there and waiting, having already walked 7 miles from his camp site !!!! We climb towards the Clavell Tower, whic has been relocated 25 metres inland by the Landmark Trust, and it is available for rental. This is folowed by a very steep decsent at Houns-Tout of 167 steps, and then back up againg with an equal if not more number of steps. The path then takes a big diversion inland just west of Champmans pool after a large landslip. The diversion takes us inland to Kingston, a pretty village with a magnificant church, lovly houses all built of local stone, and many having stone roofs. From the village centre we can see Corfe Castle to the West, but we turn east and walk probably 43 miles on the diversion in total, through a beautiful landed estate, past some wedding prepertions in the valley and through farm cottages to arrive back at the Eastern side of Chapmans pool. We climb after Hill Bottom and at the summit are greeted with the Dorset Marines memorial. Adjacent to the lookout sttion at St Albans Head, we visit the 800 year old church of St Aldhelms Chapel, one door in and no windows, you can only imagine what went on in here in years gone past. Very soon after we come across another memorial to Dr W H (Bill) Penley CB CBE who was a radar pioneer, and he carried out radar research at Worth Matraves from 1940 to 1942. The path drops to Winspit Bottom and we turn inland for the village of Worth Matravers. Another hamlet of stone buildings and the quirky pub that is the Square & Compass, which has been in the same family ownership for just over 100 years, and beleive me nothing has changed in all those years. The bar is a hatch, and the welcome very warm. So tomorrow will be the last day on the SWCP for me (probably, unless I do a U turn). 616 miles now completed
