Adventures of a couch potato: 5 The Isle of Purbeck.

If you want to know what the phrase "a country mile" means then try a walk like this: from Wareham to the Blue Pool, on to Kimmeridge, and thence the South West Coast Path to Houns-tout cliff where things took a turn for the worse...
Includes some footage of the coastguards' helicopter.

Oh you live in Swanage then? I used to work at the tile factory,with a chap called whatsisname he introduced me to Drawing book by AndrewLoomis his name was interesting for Dorset.

the old gas works,I lodged in a street central Swanage Circa 1953 actually I knew another chap another artist who rode a bike and smoked non stop.

I live 1/2 way between Poole and Bournemouth and have only ever been to Swanage for the odd afternoon and so don't know it at all well.

I was wondering whether to try the Jurassic path to the West of Kimmeridge Bay - did you ever go there?

Coincidentally I think I used to know someone called whatsisname. Spooky.

Thanks, must be really tough living out there. Just in case you haven't checked, I have several other videos that I took whilst out walking in 2007 and probably the best is the one on Brownsea Island.

No , when the name comes to me I'll let you know, my sister lives the other side of Bournemouth, near the shopping center, just before you get to Cooper Corner.

I have tried to tell her of all the fun you can have on a computer. No I never did much hiking in East Dorset although I am familiar with Corfe , Swanage Wareham- but the other side of Dorchester , Bridport West Bay Beaminster. But I enjoy your walks Thanks very much.
