	Our mornings begin with a walk down the steps of the hotel to the car park to catch the bus
	Which today takes us to Kingston and the pub garden
	Where vantage points were soon found
	To take photos of the view to Corfe Castle
	In the village we pass ancient cottages
	To the church
	A quick look inside
	Then it's out through woods carpeted in wild garlic and bluebells
	Then a farm
	With wire sheep
	A water wheel
	And a pond
	We follow a road with Corfe Castle in view
	Plenty of wisteria about in Corfe village
	Makes a change to have a dog watching from the window instead of a cat
	As we hunt out the sign for the Purbeck Way
	Some of us find our way to the National Trust tea-room below Corfe Castle*
	He can probably help show us the way
	So can he
	But we soon find our way
	Heading uphill with views back to Corfe
	It's well-positioned to be seen even from further away*
	A steam train chugging down the valley
	Continuing along the ridge
	On the one side we look down on Swanage
	Eventually reaching the Obelisk
	Now heading for Old Harry Rocks, the Isle of Wight in the distance
	Wider views of Poole Harbour
	Then Old Harry comes into view
	And is studied from all sides
	Together with the stunning chalk cliffs
	The Isle of Wight more visible now*
Jenni and Peter on the edge **
Mike takes a photo of the group - do they realise how sheer the cliff is? **
Most have now spotted Mike's camera **
Coming round the corner we look down on Studland
And back to Old Harry
In Studland the Post Office has anticipated our arrival.
