The Jurassic Coast 26 Mile Mighty Hike

Woke-up 5.30 am after a few hrs sleep by a rotund pheasant who was looking at himself in the mirror of a cigarette bin in the garden of our hotel, ’The Countryman Inn, Dorset’.   

To Weymouth.. let’s go.  A 7.30 am start at Lodmoor Country Park. Tears rolled down my cheeks thinking of my lovely mum and gorgeous family and friends affected by cancer. 

Storm clouds gathered.  Photos captured on a Canon EOS600D and 10-22 mm lens.

2,500 Mighty Hikers.. going in steep and raising money for Macmillan along they way.

Hiking through a raincloud, beside the seaside beside the sea. 

Past the Iconic Durdle Door - a natural limestone arch landmark and our 10 mile marker.

Across the beautiful white pebbly beach of Lulworth Cove and the 11.5 mile point.

Up incredibly steep steps… we were rewarded with a magnificent view.

Still hiking, though fields of sheep and blue skies at the halfway point - mile 13.

Through fields of gargantuan daisies

A Mexican stand-off with a local cow herd… 

A play list of dance floor bangers shared by friends to help us get over the 15 mile wall
