06:49:42 Not much of a sunrise to be seen this morning as it was a bit cloudy, but did at least get this patch of pink sky in the distance. | 06:50:34 | 06:51:11 | 06:51:42 Morning coffee before setting off on the remainder of my walk. |
06:51:47 | 07:31:52 On my way now, heading towards the Hardy Monument. | 08:13:12 The first Neolithic port of call today: Hell Stone. | 08:13:22 This is a dolmen and would originally have formed part of a long barrow. |
08:13:37 | 08:13:58 | 08:14:11 Here it is from the other side. | 08:14:20 |
08:36:58 Next the Hampton Stone Circle, possiby Bronze Age. | 08:37:10 | 09:04:09 Third in this morning's itinerary of antiquities is Grey Mare and Her Colts, another Neolithic long barrow. | 09:04:21 |
09:04:30 | 09:04:42 | 09:23:46 Finally the Kingston Russell stone circle. | 09:23:53 It would obviously look a bit more impressive if the stones were stood upright! |
09:24:07 | 09:24:23 ...but you hopefully get at least a sense of it. | 09:24:30 | 10:07:32 Not exactly sure where this is, but somewhere near where I ended my walk at Abbotsbury Castle I think. |
10:07:36 Yes I think this is the final stretch I did of the ridge to Abbotsbury Castle. | 10:16:02 | 10:48:56 At the (unmarked) bus stop on the B3157 near Abbotsbury Castle, I wasn't sure if a bus would indeed stop here. | 11:15:40 Thankfully it did! |
11:52:47 At Weymouth now, I thought I'd go and put my foot in the sea before getting the train back to London. | 11:52:52 | 11:53:07 Goodbye from Dorset! |
