Day 44. Saturday, 17th July. Lulworth Cove to Langton Maltravers. Weather. Clear blue sky all day. Still some wind but much less than yesterday. Ideal walking conditions. Returned by car to Lulworth Cove and resumed the walk. Crossed the cliffs above the cove and, as the firing range was open, walked through about 7 miles of MOD land that few people have seen. It's closed during the week and only open at weekends, public holidays and August. Again the scenery was stunning and, being MOD land, was very natural. The section is classified as severe and, with 4500 ft of ascent, was totally justified. Saw Tyneham, the deserted village, and stopped in Kimmeridge Bay for lunch where Nobby was laying in wait. Continued on for a further 7 miles. One area had 180 steps down to a river crossing and 218 up the other side, the record so far. At Dancing Ledge I walked inland to the campsite. Shared an evening with Helen, Tom and Nobby sampling 4 ales from the two village pubs.17 miles. Total now 619. Will I make it to 630 and journey's end?
