Walk Description:

Special Event WALK - fancy a bit of a challenge. 

Join WALX Dorset for a day out on Portland where we will walk around the coastline of Portland followng the SWCP. 

This walk is approx 10 miles with fairly flat terrain apart from a steep incline at the start and end of the walk. Parts of the walk are uneven rocky terrain and other sections are grass or tracks. It can be windy on Portland so wear layers and bring gloves and hat if required. 

We will aim to walk at a comfortable pace as stamina is more important than speed. If you have not walked 10 miles before you may need to check you are able to cover at least 7 miles before the day. But feel free to contact the leader if you are unsure. 

Bring water and refreshments for the day although we will try and stop at some point for a snack. 

Location Notes:

Free Parking Coming up the hill on A354, at Yeates Roundabout take first exit and follow the round around Heights Hotel and take first exit onto New Ground and car park is on your left.
