    I've done this walk before but not in December, the views along the coast are stunning but there are some very steep steps.
    Chapman's Poool with Portland in the distance.

      It was a good day for it but the steps are a killer and there are several ups and downs. here's some more strata for you Zigs (do you miss the coast?).

        Not much left of this castle Penny but it is still a fascinating place.
        Woo, even I stopped half way for a breather, it's actually harder on the knees going down.:smile:
