Scenic Purbeck 6.5 mile walk from St James Church Kingston (Near Scott Arms pu

We will do a circuitous route from the St James Church in Kingston to Swyre Head then down a steep descent to meet with the South West Coastal Path which we will follow to Chapman's Pool. There we will picnic/have a dip before climbing to the garden cafe run by the delightful Marion for coffee/tea and cakes. We will then return to the start point. It will not be an amble but it will also not be a speed march. The distance is 6.5 miles with some steep descents and ascents so a reasonable level of fitness is required, we will expect everyone to keep up and stay together. Because of the steep and sometimes narrow paths we will restrict this event to humans only as dogs can be an additional trip hazard. Dress for the weather, with comfortable sturdy footwear, and take drinks and snacks and swimwear if desired. Upon completion we will repair to the Scott Arms for refreshments and an apres. It would make sense to car share where possible as there is limited parking and would save on fuel and parking fees. Park on the roadside or in the nearby car park. This will count as a session for those who have block booked sessions or cost £4.00.
