Basking under blue skies, but thankfully slightly lower temperatures than in previous days, participants were able to enjoy the many scenic sights laid out before them on the carefully plotted 57-mile route.
Among the many panoramic views were those over the Arne peninsular, the imposing ruins of Corfe Castle, the candy floss attractions of Swanage and of course the abundant countryside of the Purbeck hills.

This the first time we have used the hall Hall and the facilities were excellent if the shaded veranda a little narrow
Thanks to Adrian Mullins for setting the route and Pip and Ursula Bonner for organising the Hog Roast and ice creams and Pat Lodge for suppling hot and cold drinks.
