Jaunt

Slightly drunken ramblings at the seafront at Lyme Regis, about the meaning of the sea and why I am so attracted to it

Walking into Lyme Regis after camping up and talking tech woes and the YouTube Shutdown of my hiking channel... This is a few days old, I didn't have the battery or connection to upload it.

A ramble about home, and how the project has changed with the physical and economic challenges, and how I want to go forward. I was going to suffix this with 'but I went to Lyme anyway' - in fact I am on the bus now, but just found out Youtube has removed my hiking channel and really am at the 'one more thing I am going home' stage. But where is home?

I'll Tumble For Ya... Literally. The kind of tumble I like is the big rock walls down the slopes of Corfe Castle or a tumble dryer (no sign of one of those). Not falling during a walk. Something I have never done so far, but it follows a similar fall on concrete steps at home.

And it is the 13th podcast! Cannot make this stuff up...

Getting lost on the way to Chapman's Pool and why I hate Swanage so much with the story of California Farm and the secret quarry.

Walking back to the campsite after a nice meal at the New Inn, talking about neurodiversity, Pathological Demand Avoidance, shouting at myself and honouring the last word of 'working holiday'

Finally get into Kimmeridge late but no headtorch, a surprise pub, return of the Children of the Corn path and an angry drunk Karen, brought in part to you by the National Trust's free charging and WiFi facilities!

I made it to Arish Mell at 4pm with low water and tried filtering puddle water which worked but the filter kept blocking... I avoided the muddy puddle stream that the cows were shitting and pissing in. A good samaritan arrived and have me some water... I headed up to Lulworth Castle and then to Povington Hill, deciding to try and get the Tyneham to Kimmeridge section done as well...depite not having my headtorch, time for some dusk walking!

Continuing the walk I get to Tyneham via Lulworth Ranges walking from Corfe

They:ll always leave the red flag flying here... Walking across Lulworth Ranges to get to Arish Mell and Mupe Bay on a boiling hot day.
