| Studland and Old Harry Rocks | 2021-10-24 | Over the chain ferry at Sandbanks and on to Studland for a walk past Old Harry Rocks and up Ballard Down.
Rain came in - as predicted - in the second half of the walk. Quite a breezy day with overfalls to the south of Old Harry.

| St Anthony Head hound walk | 2014-09-11 | Too windy for canoeing (F5/6 from the east) so a yomp with the hound around St Anthony Head. Top walk with just about the right amount of up and downiness.

| Old Man Of Hoy | 2026-05-13 | A splendid walk from the rather splendid Rackwick to the rather superb Old Man of Hoy.
The cliff next to the Old Man was rather scary so I went nowhere near it. I liked our guide book's suggestion that "For walkers wanting a less nerve-shredding but equally unimpeded view [walk] 200 yards towards St John's Head, where the cliffs are a little less, well, edgy". So we did.

| Burra Voe and Old Haa | 2026-06-01 | We were staying the night at the community owned and rather lovely Burravoe marina and camp site.
So we went for a walk round and had tea an cake at the Old Haa Museum and garden (with its rock statues).
Then for a walk round the headland on the south side of the voe. We'd just got round the other side when the fog came in with a vengeance. Made it all quite eerie.

| Last days of summer? | 2016-10-02 | A lovely summy summer's day - maybe one of the last of 2016?
So we took Scooby on one of his favourite beach walks - from Exmouth to Sandy Bay.
Got there a little late - just past low tide - so as we were unlikely to get back round Orcombe rocks without getting a bit wet on teh way back, we came back on the cliff top walk.

| Exmouth and back | 2016-12-28 | A slightly longer cycle ride than usual. Average speed would probably have been a fair bit better if it wasn't for a strong wind right on the nose for the last 6 miles.

| First bike ride of 2017 | 2017-01-03 | Round to Exmouth and back. And today's lesson learned is not to eat a cheese and tomato toastie with chips at the Exmouth beach cafe immediately before heading off back into the wind for umpteen miles...

| Round to Exmouth | 2017-08-14 | Round to Maer Rocks at Exmouth. Started raining just as I got to Exmouth. The last seven miles straight into the wind and the rain were hard work.

| Exmouth and back | 2019-07-22 | Round to Exmouth and back with Liz.
The home made banana and chocolate cake at Exmouth and the double scoop Salcombe Dairy icecreams at Lympstone ensured we weren't calorie negative!
