Carpool:

Please start early as it can take 3 hours if driving and give extra time for traffic. Please plan your journey in advance. Those planning to drive (and are definitely coming) can offer rides and share fuel costs but please be mindful and do not change your attendance at the last minute. I would be driving down as well and happy to pick up some and drop them back at Three Bridges Station however, please send me a message beforehand.

Train:
Plan your journey in advance. Train journey may take longer. The following route is just a suggestion. Depending on where you are traveling from, please plan your own journey but please ensure you reach the meeting point at 11:30 am sharp.

You can take train from Clapham Junction to Wool Station and then take a bus to Lulworth Cove (X50). However, please check your journey including bus timings beforehand. You can, of course, take a taxi and reach the meeting point but it may cost further.

This isn’t just any coastal walk — the Jurassic Coast is England’s only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching 95 miles through 185 million years of Earth’s history. Every cliff you see, every arch you walk past, and every cove you explore has been shaped by dinosaurs, ancient oceans, volcanic forces, and time itself.

This is a scenic coastal path with amazing views of the geological features and out to sea on a clear day. Some very steep hills with elevations up to 600 meters and rough sections along this route require care and appropriate footwear. It is also advised to take plenty of water and food as there may not be any refreshments along the way. We may do couple of routes around this area which will be covering Durdle door.

The walk will be at a medium pace and is expected to finish a bit late in the day. Please carry a torch. You need to be fit enough for this hike. We will go to a pub/restaurant at the end of the walk after which we shall start our way back towards London.

Please note - The participants are expected to stay with or behind the hike / walk leader and not go ahead of him as this is important to maintain the pace of the group and keep the group together and to allow people behind to catch up.

You are responsible for your own safety and for making sure that your actions don’t damage the people, animals, or environment around you. This is wholly a voluntary activity. No service/risk is inferred or accepted.

Those who are continuously ‘No show’ for 2 or more times and have never been to my walks / hikes before will be removed from the group.

Please be respectful to fellow walkers.

Please make sure to read the about us section of the group before signing up for the events.
