Sorry I don’t quite understand what you mean.

Quite a few people get the ferry from the Barbican to Mountbatten and miss most of this section, but being a local lad I wanted to do all of this leg.

Thank you Gary. You’re right, so many happy memories of every single mile I have walked (well most of them)!

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. Yes the sea was so rough that day. A constant deafening noise for the entire walk. It was more impressive in person.

Hi both, I hope you enjoyed your trip away exploring the coast. Your next section is one of my favourites.

Snow on the coast is an unusual sight. Not sure I’d fancy walking some of the cliff sections with snow underfoot! I am always hopefuls of seeing a dolphin, but with only 3 days walking remaining it is looking less likely now.

Yes that’s one of my favourites too. Actually most of my most memorable sections are on the north coast. Thanks for boosting the views, the more views my videos get, the more UA-cam promotes them to other people.

Sad times mate, made even worse by us losing last night! 😢

@@pilgrimpaul7798 don't get me started on that. I'm gonna focus my emotional space on the outdoors and not sports. Never let's me down.

You’re very welcome, and thank you.

No that extra mileage has made my planning a bit difficult. I’ll try and get some good footage around there so you can see what it’s like and what to expect.

Thank you both. I’m so humbled that you have continued to follow after all this time and am please you have enjoyed them. It might not be the coast path, but I will continue to film whatever adventure I take on next.

Great. We'll look forward to that. We have just done a short walk along what is left of the crumbling Norfolk coastpath from our campsite into Sheringham. The wildflowers are a sight to the see but the weather is abysmal. 😭

Thank you. Yes when I meet people on the path who have travelled from all across the world I realise how lucky I am to live so close to it. Waking up in the tent is the best bit, normally I’ve been so uncomfortable in the night that I am relieved when morning comes so I can get up again 🤣 Keep it Green ⚽️

Wow I thought my pack was heavy! I fished from Rame Head once before and a few times at Penlee Point, but we blanked.

@@pilgrimpaul7798 yea we went after wrasse at rame from memory managed a few then came back after dark and fished a spot called pier cellers after dark had to climb down some ladders tied to the cliff to get down there plagued by dogfish which wasnt to bad. then onto cawsands for daylight to see if we could manage a early plaice. Wouldnt of been so heavy but i had my floatation suit with me as it was still bitterly cold at night and for safty, + food and drink for 30 odd hours ontop of all the fishing gear and bait etc. Whole of plymouth and surounding areas fishings gone down hill over the last 10-15 years .

Yes I can imagine it being a bit unnerving along those cliffs during high winds.

It’s good to know some people enjoy them. Thanks ☺️

Thank you. I think the book is referring to total distance covered along the path which from Start Point to Portland Bill is 118 miles. 56 miles is as the crow flies.

@@pilgrimpaul7798 I just mean I don't think you can see it from Portland Bill due to the curvature of the earth.

Yes I was surprised how much there was to see on this walk, and that’s not including venomous dog poo! 🤣

The coast path is varied as you would expect considering it covers 630 miles. That is what makes it so interesting. I do understand your point about the natural beauty is impacted by humans, but I have still enjoyed large stretches along the Jurassic coast including this one.

I had the same feeling as you before the walk, but there was plenty of interest. It was a very nice circular walk which isn’t something you experience anywhere else on the coast path.

Yes I made myself laugh with that 🤣

Thanks Neil, glad you enjoyed it.

Does it feel like a different walk doing it in the opposite direction? Where are you at the moment?

@@pilgrimpaul7798 It does feel a bit different as you get to see the opposite view when walking plus on Portland there was a closed section on the east coast in 2020 that was open this time though the now closed section by the sculpture park was open last time. Back home in Essex now. I walk the path in 4 or 5 day blocks, staying at a campsite, using public transport to travel to the start/finish each day. I got as far as Abbotsbury last month, going for another 5 days soon though I'm taking the inland winter path option between Abbotsbury and West Bexington as I found the miles of trudging through pebbles to be horrendeous last time

Ah thanks for sticking with me. Feels like a long time ago that I set off from Minehead.

Hi Rob. Yes I am aware of some of the hills as I walked the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike last year from Weymouth to Corfe. It’s a stunning section, so I’m looking forward to walking it again.

Thank you. It’s so nice to hear that you are enjoying them. I often mention “we” in my videos as I do feel like we are all walking it together.

Thanks both. September is a good month for the path. Still warm, hopefully, without being too hot. Look forward to watching how you get on with it.

Killer isn’t it. And at least with the hills you get the view at the top 😂

You have the knowledge of each step I am taking having done it yourself. I always say “we” on the videos as I do feel like I have walked it with everyone who watches.

The beach was a bit tiring but not as tough as some of the cliffs in other parts of the path. I can’t remember the exact time. My train was 17.50 and I got to the station with plenty of time. I would guess I got to Ferry Bridge about 15.30. I was walking for around 8.5 hrs including breaks and filming etc. if you have a lighter pack than I did you will prob walk it much quicker.

It seemed never ending with hardly a soul around. My legs felt strange by the time I started walking on firmer ground again.

Ah yes I remember the pebbles at Porlock causing me to stumble several times.

Thanks Debs 🙂

Thank you Elina. I will certainly carry on with filming my walks, wherever they may be.

I didn’t stop at the cafe at West Bexington, I was then 40 mins too early for the cafe at Chesil. I actually ran out of water towards the end, I found this section to be quite remote in terms of places to fill up water etc.

Thanks Carleton. 4 to go!

Some lovely views from the Ridgeway Jon. It will be a long time before I forget the miles over those pebbles 🤣

It was a nice easy walk which is a rarity on the coast path 👍

Ah yes I wouldn’t be without them. They make a huge difference to the exertion on my joints and provide a bit of extra stability on those descents.

Well done you two. It’s sad now it’s nearly over isn’t it.

@@pilgrimpaul7798 It really is. We’re lucky living here so we can pop back to a few favourite bits here and there.

Thank you Richard. I honestly can’t remember what it was called. I just googled it and tried several things until I found a website that did something to the files that then made them play. When I first tried uploading the clips to my laptop they wouldn’t play at all.

You’ll be in there all day Sue with your love of photography.

Ah Sue you always say the nicest things 😊

Thanks Sandra. The diversions have been ok, there is another one on next week’s walk which did add a bit of distance and was through a residential area so that was not so enjoyable. I hope you get on ok with the shoes. I do love them, but I am a bit disappointed as my current pair have started to split and I think I only bought them just before my Plymouth leg. I suppose they do cover some miles though!

It did feel like it was very high when I was at the top. A total contrast in conditions compared to to when I was at Great Hangman, which is the highest point on the coast path, I couldn’t see a thing when I was at the top that day!

Well there is 1 more video for you to see that will be out on Monday. After that there is only 4 days walking until I reach South Haven Point 😢 It will likely be August/September that I get back to finish it. After that I haven’t yet decided. Probably leaning towards the Devon Coast to Coast.

@@pilgrimpaul7798 Hi Paul, thanks for the info., looking forward to Monday's episode. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any other walker has recorded the entire length of the SWCP, so I recon a compilation set of your videos would sit very well alongside any of the paperback guidebooks. Colin G

Great video series Paul. 👍 You’ve given me confidence to try it as a through hike starting 1st June (a retirement present to myself). I’m not rushing it, so I might see you near the end if I’m still going in August 🤣

@@user-mp8gz1qm4whaha thanks, maybe I’ll do a directors cut blue ray set 🤣 There are a few people that have filmed it before, but we all see it differently and each person videos are unique.

@@Rambling_Bobah that’s great. I hope your 1st few days have gone well. Are you posting updates anywhere?

Thank you 🙏

Perfect day for it mate. I must admit to skipping the club house. 1 pint with my meal and I was ready for bed!

Yes it has been 7 months since I’ve had to carry that. Was good to have a few days on the path. You got any plans to return?

@@pilgrimpaul7798 was hoping to complete it last week but the military range was closed and it’s closed when. I’m off in June. So will probably do Lyme Regis to Weymouth in June then finish it during the school hols. I’m glad you stayed at the holiday camp past west bay, as I was looking that one up but couldn’t find the cost online. Some near Portland were £39. Not paying that.

@@an9636yes that was a good site. Hope you enjoy your next stretch. I’ll keep an eye out for your vids.

I thought that it seemed like a steeper climb from the Charmouth side. It was spectacular views for the top. Yes it is sad to have such a large stretch closed, but as far as diversions go this wasn’t a bad one.
