That's my local ride, lovely this time of year. Try coming back in the middle of February it's a different kettle of fish then.

Have you got a gpx route for it? Lovely pics. Purbecks are great and not far for a swim at the end of your ride.

I have but I'm sure a proper local would have a much better route. I was just winging it...

That's just what I did ๐Ÿ™‚

Great photies and bring back some good riding memories from when I lived down South during the 80/90's. We did a loop from the Sandbanks ferry through Corfe to Lulworth then back along the coast...sublime on a warm summers day.

Now I have moved away I have to make do with trails here in Scotland ๐Ÿ™‚
