I will have a video of the ride on my you tube channel (mikerbwind) later today which may help with your planning. Where are you planning to start from?

The draft plan is to take a SWR to Weymouth and ride along the coastline to Christchurch and into the Forest

 

[Goody]

Hadn't expected to ride today with a change of plan ( family visit now happening tomorrow) meaning I could .
Went local to Kielder ..the first pic is of 3 emtber's heading towards "Stairway to Heaven" section ..they were planning on doing the "Cross Border Route " to Newcastleton & back .. View attachment 61588 Next pics inside Skyspace ..where on a dark night you can contemplate the stars & the universe ..but today the Galaxy was inside sitting on top of my sport drink ..

Hi, that was me and my mates. Nice to meet you. We had an interesting mix of bikes. A Haibike, a Halfords hub bike and a home made Vitus with a Bafang conversion. All did well but the hub ran out of battery with 2 miles to go, the Bafang battery light was flashing as we got back and the Haibike had half a battery left. Great day out.

Assuming you want to avoid tarmac and stick to an off road coastal route I would start at Osmington Mills. There is no coastal route from Weymouth to there...its all footpath ( coastal Path).
From Osmington Mills ( rear of Smugglers Inn) to Ringstead Bay .....ride to the top.........head East along the upper coast path .....at Daggers Gate cross the road onto a gravel track which will take you eventually to West Lulworth......down towards the Cove pick up the path heading for Tynham Viewpoint...then Grange Hill Viewpoint...Grange Arch.....Corfe Castle. Get out onto the road to Corfe and turn left up a track on the first right hand bend..................you are now at the beginning of my video to Old Harry Rocks ( see you tube channel....Mikerbwind) . The rest of the route is covered on other videos on my channel.

I swear... I barely touched it.

The turtles are back. I keep a weary eye out for these. They are not good traction and upset the suspension something terrible.

You know, I never thought about it much, but your right, and they do always look pisted off. Probably Sithe.

Todays turtles- all uniquely angry by the way, and the other side of a tree that fell.

Solo ride this morning.....unable to join The Hodge and Nick on a ride out around Inners......not posting pics as you’ve seen them all before of the Cheviot Hills courtesy of Shitterbug landscapes.
I tried this figure of 8 route to test battery performance.....got back to the car with one block of lekky left in the tank. This ride on the hardtail would have took me 5 to 6hrs and many stops, only one stop to improve relations with the bobbly hat brigade and that was only 10 mins or so.

 

[The EMF]

Sorry Mr Hodge should read ‘shutter bug’ ......fat fingers syndrome again I’m afraid ???
