The first edition was walked, researched and written by HENRY STEDMAN (far left) and JOEL NEWTON (left) accompanied by Henry’s dog, DAISY. They also researched and wrote the two other books in this SWCP series, plus numerous other Trailblazer guides. This second edition of Dorset & South Devon Coast Path was rewalked and updated by DANIEL MCCROHAN. Daniel is a hardened hiker and widely-pub- lished travel writer who has now worked on eight Trailblazer guides, and authored more than 30 Lonely Planet books to destinations as far flung as Tibet and Mongolia. He specialises in China, where he lived for more than a decade, but he is from the UK and relishes any opportunity he gets to explore the British countryside. Daniel hiked and camped his way along the whole coast path for this latest trip, accom- panied for much of the Jurassic s Coast section by his fossil-loving r seven-year-old daughter Yoyo, who has now walked all, or part of, no o fewer than five national trails. h Catch up with their adventures t at : danielmccrohan.com, or track u down Daniel

  • Jurassic Coast Weekend
    UK Jurassic Coast Weekend Duration: 3 days Stretching 95 miles between Old Harry Rocks in Dorset, to Orcombe Point in East Devon, the Jurassic Coast – England’s first Natural World Heritage Site – is the most geologically diverse coastline in the world. The exposed cliff sections allow you to look back through 185 million years of time; dinosaur remains have been found here, and it’s a fossil-hunter’s paradise. With a more recent history of mining, shipwrecks and smuggling, this is a fascinating stretch of coastline. We take in some of its most spectacular scenery, from the renowned natural stone archway of Durdle Door to the beautiful circular Lulworth Cove, as we continually climb and descend the steep hills of the Jurassic Coast. We camp at a lovely campsite a short distance from our route. DETAILED ITINERARY Day 1: Meet Campsite We meet at our campsite near Wool, Dorset, for a trek briefing, and get to know the rest of the group over dinner and an evening in camp. There will be transport arranged to pick you up from Wool railway station if required. Day 2: Durlston Head – Kimmeridge After a good breakfast, we transfer (approx. 30 mins) to Durlston Head, a Country Park on the cliffs above Swanage. Setting off, we can pause at the impressive Globe, an enormous limestone sphere engraved with an 1880s world map. There are fabulous views from the Globe, which accompany us as we walk west along the hilly coastline. This area was long used for mining famous Purbeck Marble and Portland Stone, which is evident from WWW.DISCOVERADVENTURE.COM || 01722 718444 AITO Assured PAGE 2 the old quarries other remains we pass.
