Weymouth to Home. 7 miles (not including the train)
Woke up early to the greyest rainiest foggiest day yet. Started packing up in the wet, and got absolutely soaked. We cycled soggily down the hill into Weymouth and found our way to the train station. Luckily the train was sitting on the platform, and once I’d paid some extortionate amount of money we slopped […]

I’d been there years ago, and remembered the impressive coastline and cliff walks […]

Beaulieu to Poole. 40 miles
We woke to a glorious silence, no pitter pattering on the tent, in fact there was real yellow sun shining down on the steaming meadows. We had a quick breakfast of coffee and KitKats we’d bought from the bar and packed up to leave. Today was looking good, we cycled to Lyndhurst and had a […]
