Day 49 - Saturday 24th June

Dear Diary [editor :-) ]

We started the day crossing the river Axe and then dropping down into the beautiful nature reserve all the way to Lyme Regis. The reserve is there as a result of a HUGE landslip which has since been colonised. It is now a gorgeous forested area and was stunning to walk through with the sun shining through it's canopy...

However it was long work and took 3hrs to go 5miles! After a lunch stop in a rather noisy Lyme Regis we went off on an inland division to Charmouth and then onto our final tough challenge of the day -Golden Cap at 190m high! We conquered and the views were magnificent all the way to Portland.

On arriving in Seatown we headed straight for the pub, the Anchor Inn, for a well earned pint and met some Southampton bikers who got into the spirit of things and made a collection totaling £27.51, see picture -and cheers guys! Hope you had good biking on Sunday.
