	Starting off from Osmington Village under the woeful gaze of an artificial milk making machine
	Heading across fields in the pouring rain
	To Osmington Mills - too early to go into the pub
	An inspiring view back down the coast
	And over Osmington Village as we climb uphill
	Some cormorants with their vantage points
	Are we downhearted?
	Can just about see our next objective
	We pass the burning cliffs
	Reaching a small wooden chapel
	With engraved glass windows
	Now looking back to Portland Bill
	Lots of smiles - must be mad
	* At this point the easy walkers take the higher route
	Whilst the medium walkers start on the switchback coastal path
	* As seen from above
	Varying degrees of visibility
	* Meanwhile the easy walkers can see the other lot looking like ants
	* And don't envy the steep descent ahead of them
	* The easy walkers have a gently descending path
	* Through the gorse
	* Whilst the medium walkers take it carefully
	Scratchy bottom comes into view
	* Nearly there
	Then in front of us we spot Durdle Door
	But first another steep descent followed of course by an ascent
	* The two groups reunite
	* A couple of stragglers very wisely taking it carefully
	Some interesting edifices in the sea and Portland Bill in the distance
	Rain easing up a bit now
Durdle Door getting closer
We all pause
The rock in the sea is the Bull, or Cow of Calf. Portland Bill still in the background
* At Durdle Door some schoolchildren are swimming
Around ...
... and back through the arch
A teacher shows how to jump from the rocks
We take in the view up the coast
Before crossing the headland and down into Luworth
The coastline stretching out before us
As we head dowhill
