General:
Drove to Kimmeridge Bay via Corfe Castle. Stopped on Lane to 
Church Knowle for a good photo of the castle between the trees. 
Pity the weather wasn't sunny. Ann dropped me at Kimmerage 
Bay car park after convincing the attendant in the toll booth that 
she wouldn't be long. He let us through without paying, but not 
without buying a tub of his own grown plum tomatoes. Continued 
my walk around the bay but had a little problem finding the steps 
upto the Clayell Tower (folly) all very obvious when you know. 
When I reached the cliff top, I watched wind surfers in the bay. 
Interesting tower, wanted to look closer by respected the 
'private sign'. As I walked towards Cuddle and Clavell's head by 
Kimmeridge ledges, lots of joggers wanted to pass by. After a 
while I realised it was an official charity event with check points. 
The runners then the walkers slowly passed me all day. Kimmeridge 
ledges impressive as you walk along the top of the cliffs. 
Don't forget to look back so that all the views can be enjoyed.
