Just minutes into my ascent from the beach a sea mist rolls in and it’s icy cold in stark contrast to the warmth of the sun

I continue up until reaching Thorncombe Beacon, it’s name a direct reference to the role it played in the chain of prominent signaling beacons dotted along the coast line which once warned of the approach of the Spanish Armada back in the 1580’s

It’s offers a superb vista Eastwards along Chesil beach with Portland in the distance

after my leisurely ascent it’s time for a warming drink and a snack… a common theme in my bimbles and a personal reward for not much effort!

After refreshments it’s time to head over the Common land of Eype Down and through the Bluebell woods on my way homewards
