Day 7

The end of my first week.

I will be walking from somewhere in the New Forest to Swanage (city of lights!) this will take 10 hours of walking and I will travel a total distance of 30.1 miles.

But wait there is more! I will get into Bournemouth at about lunch time, then I shall make my way to Sandbanks to catch the ferry! This means that I will be able to stick to the coast and will maybe get a few lovely views and have a chance to rest my (most likely blistered) feet.

The Ferry

(Potentially) my feet.



I will then only be an hour or two from Swanage. The local tourist board has recommended to me the following:

  • The Swanage steam railway
  • Corfe Castle
  • The Victorian pier
  • And the Tank Museum

Steam train passing the castle


I doubt I will have time to take in all these sights, but I will sleep all the more soundly with the knowledge that they are there.
