Itinerary description

Mostly along the Purbeck Way. Great views from Swanage and around the back of Corfe. Then into woodland and across fields.The last part from Blue Pool to the Wareham yacht club is quite isolated and slow going, followed by a stretch on tarmac and it crosses a major road. I would find a different path for that part. I had combined 2 trails as I am training for longer distance. You can finish at various points along the way and the Breezer bus is reasonably frequent.
